River Gryffe, no Salmon killed for the next five years

Unless "the minister" is speaking with an even more forked tongue than usual

You should never trust a Mcleod, remember it was they who betrayed Montrose.    :lol:

Interestingly, one of the things that is filling the LLAIA with dread is the prospect of a DSFB/FMO.
It should also worry any clubs on rivers outwith DSFBs
Why?
Precisely because they will lose control of the management of their rivers and running costs will go up.
With no improvement to the fishing.

On the contrary I think it'll be positive. That's why I'm so incensed at the tweed allegedly being excluded. If you exclude arguably the most productive wild fishery from the legislation what's the point in having it.it's going to be.like taxing every coffee shop in the high street except Costa or Starbucks.  Fk....That's what they do already.

That is a very real danger but if you compare the tweed commissioners rolling in clover against those in the scabby burn with fk all you'll understand why reform is so attractive.

Police Scotland.

No-Police Scotland, more like!
Just the same as it will be no-bailiff Scotland IF the worst excesses of the WFR are implemented.

I may be wrong, but in areas where there is currently no Fisheries Board, no levy gets paid?
Once you get your FMO, you will have to pay for it!

but that will never happen this side of a major reduction in the human population :shock:

that, Andy is the elephant in the room which I fear no-one will address before it's too late....

I was at the local club's AGM last night and there is an almost full-time warden paid for by RFDSFB who covers all of the Forth's twelve rivers.....    That said, he is recruiting warden assistants who will be given training courses and have some legal standing. The local board is paid for by levies to the local clubs and owners.

The other elephant has been around for a long time !! Population control used to be a really important talking point but has sadly fallen by the wayside long since.

Ignoring  the rights or wrongs of it for a moment I'd guess the Tweed exemption  is also good for those who fish for trout on the river. If the S.G. did a Robin Hood job on their funds the lost revenue would have to be made up somehow and it is very likely that the trout fishing leases would be hiked as well as the salmon rents.

As far as population goes we in the west and in China  have controlled our family sizes for a very long time now. My mother was one of 6 sisters and one brother. Many other cultures and religions still have huge families for their own reasons.

Yip, no public support at all is forthcoming. The work still needs to be done though.
