Release your salmon
May 2nd, 2009 | By ssacn | Category: SSACN Announcementssay the Association of Salmon Fishery Boards (ASFB) as numbers are down on almost all of the major rivers.
At present more than 70% of salmon caught are released back into the water but the group said there was a "strong case" to make it 100% but that that will only be possible with the help of anglers and netsmen who they hope will support these voluntary but nevertheless important measures.
ASFB Chairman Hugh Campbell Adamson said it was the cause of serious concern. He urged anglers to show "maximum restraint" over the next two months so that as many fish as possible had the opportunity to spawn later in the year. The ASFB has also written to the Salmon Net Fishing Association of Scotland asking its members not to start fishing until the end of June.
