WATER SCARCITY- SALMON FISHING - RIVER EDEN

Following the recent heavy rain the river water temperatures have now fallen sufficiently to the point where it is considered safe for Salmon fishing to resume. However, please, where ever possible unhook your catch in the net when it is in the water. Due to high banks this is may not always be possible but PLEASE do not lift a salmon to take photos estimate its weight from its length and return it to the water as safely and as quickly as possible, giving it time to recover. Handling salmon, especially round the tail can remove protective mucus and allow infection by fungus.

Thank you for your patience. - SECRETARY
