KEEP THE TRADITION OF SALMON NETTING ON THE TAMAR TAVY

On the contrary 38 I have fished a fly with the best thats how I've witnessed the wilful slaughter of gravid stock by anglers, seen for myself the damage caused to lips and gills
and the exhaustion of fish released back to the river after being played for an hour to
provide 'sport' for the angler.I've actually seen coloured fish taken for the pot and spewing eggs on to the grass and that is why I always fish for salmon between June and July when I can take prime fish home to eat.
The biggest predators of Tamar salmon are multiplying at an alarming rate over 20,000 at the last count one salmon per day for four and a half months x 2o,ooo is a lot of salmon eggs.
And lets put the record straight about net catches they cannot influence stocks because the
by-laws,regulation and NLO's have stopped or reduced to an extent that they are being bludgeoned out of existence while the lucrative profits of the riparian owners are protected and allowed to
exploit the most fish for the longest period.
