COPS searching for Nicola Bulley are looking at who had permits to fish the river around the time she vanished.
The 45-year-old disappeared without a trace while on a dog walk along the River Wyre in the village of St Michael’s, Lancs, on January 27.
1Cops searching for Nicola Bulley are looking at who had permits to fish the river around the time she vanishedBut today it emerged that local fishing clubs have been approached by officers wanting information.
They are understood to have been asked about anglers who may have had tickets to fish the river and who may have been on its banks when she vanished.
One local angler told The Mirror: “It sounds like they are trying to work out if anyone was fishing on the river that day and saw something, but nobody was.
“The only people that were on the river that day were dog walkers. I can guarantee you that. The dog walkers were there.”
He said cops first called anglers the day after the mum-of-two’s disappearance.
But this was only to ask about the nature of the water where she went missing.
Fishing permits have been temporarily suspended as a mark of respect by the local fishing society since Nicola, from nearby Inskip, went missing.
It comes just days after a report from a potential witness who claims to have seen two men acting suspiciously on the river the day before and the morning Nicola vanished.
