A young angler poses with his first salmon, after which the fish was returned
The NRW have now issued the 2013 assessments of the “Know Your River” statistics complied from the 2013 catch returns and other related figures. This may sound boring and of little interest BUT IT IS NOT. I URGE YOU TO LOOK AT THE DETAILS OF YOUR OWN RIVER SYSTEM, there you will find in plain language the stark details of the state of your Salmon and sea trout stocks. A number state that salmon stocks are at risk and predicted to decline in future. We can no longer afford to be just anglers, we have also to be conservationists otherwise our children and grandchildren may never witness the sight of a salmon leaping or the excitement of hooking one.
