It's so easy for some to say get rid of the netsmen because it is only a hobby so what is
angling? As for putting things back look at C+R. Catching gravid fish dripping with eggs
playing them for half an hour or more and then returning them with ripped lips damaged gills
and completely exhausted to be caught again and again.If they're lucky they die at sea rather
than go through that cruel onslaught year after year on the Tamar.If you want to put something back stop exploiting spawning stock and finish in August like the nets that'll save millions of eggs every year.

#29: Orri - Orri, you clearly have NO idea how salmon fishing with a fly rod and line works, unbelievably naive comments. Have the common sense to give factual information. Salmon stocks are critically low in the Tamar, nets will finish salmon runs. Thats what people need to understand
