Sure, anglers can be a lot of trouble, but of you think that's bad, come
to the Belgian Ardennes or try to paddle on so many of the nicer streams
in Britain. Many of those streams (actually, most in Belgium) are closed
to paddlers because of the stronger fisherman lobby.

Fishing. Everywhere, more anglers and more fishing line. Not only do I
need to worry about not hitting their lines or "getting too close" to them,
but I also find my paddle and occasionally my rudder fouled by old discarded
fishing line. Everywhere.

Oh, and when they're about to cast, they look impatient while I pass by. As
if that 10 seconds extra time for me to pass is going to cost them the "big
catch of the day". A few of the more ignorant ones don't even care - they
just cast off anyway.

This is the case with ALL of the rivers and smaller lakes nearby. I'm
beginning to wonder which is worse: jetski's or anglers...
