Mate, don’t worry about drone police - if your registered, licensed,insured and flying carefully don’t give some wise-guy a second thought. In the rare event of some random opening their mouth, either play deaf or if they are insistent on mouthing off tell them to **** off. You will find more people are interested, stop & watch and sometimes ask questions - then you can be Mr Positive and engage, but always letting them know you know what your doing. Oddly enough I find fishermen have an attitude so keep well away from them with the quad is the best bet to avoid a confrontation.

I don’t worry about drone police at all - this thread is about this reservoir in question and I know it is controlled by fishing clubs the fishermen are entitled to carry out there pastime without our intrusion and justifiably so, they have paid for a relaxing day fishing and we should respect that, maybe I should of said caretaker / landowner not drone police.
