I paid the same as the historical average I pay for chocolate brownies, apple pie, BBQ sausages, etc. etc.

If the oil companies here did so much as frighten a fish, the environmentalists would go bananas (whilst quietly ignoring the nets, cranes, and lorries). There's also the matter of a prime fishing spot being right beside one of the main construction sites. I don't think they wanted gangs of their workforce lined up fishing rather than being at work, generating yet more bad PR.

Are the streams in question on company property ? Why is fishing prohibited by the company and what say do they have about it anyway ? Are the streams in question on company property ?
