KEEP THE TRADITION OF SALMON NETTING ON THE TAMAR TAVY

59 When have the netsmen ever offered to work with the angling lobby or River's Trusts? Netsmen have certainly been invited to the Tamar AGM before, but never attended.Have the netsmen ever invited the Rods?
58 Run sizes in recent years have been calculated using the Data from the Gunnislake counter. Where there is no counter it is calculated from Rod catches as per the CL Model. A reduction in netting effort has no influence on the CL calculation Model so there is no smoke and mirrors.
The EA have fought very hard to allow netting to continue on the Tamar against tremendous pressure from rods, owners and conservation bodies. It should be seen as a tribute to the EA that the current NLO allows netting to return. I personally look forward to watching the netsmen at work and this will bring back fond childhood memories. Netsman Bill has the right ideas,and I welcome the return of Salmon netting as a hobby.
For the Record the Rods killed 37 Salmon in the 2013 season - hardly a bumper year!!!
