BBC: Anglers Catching More Sanitary Products than Fish

A fishing competition could be called off as anglers were hooking more sanitary products than fish, an organiser said. […] Andy Jones, from Shrewsbury Town Fisheries, said it could be cancelled this year as anglers were hooking more sanitary products and wet wipes than fish.

Recent Environment Agency (EA) data showed water companies discharged sewage into rivers for 1.8m hours in England last year, of which Severn Trent was responsible for 249,116 hours.
