@GOLD1702 Conservation of Salmon stocks for future anglers.

@MrKingfisher3 can't the fisheries board not breed salmon then release them?

[MrKingfisher3]

@GOLD1702 That is a question for the fishery board, but i do agree that the salmon stocks should be helped by stocking eggs ( ova ), fingerlings, parr and smolt. The stocks are in decline in alot of rivers so they should do like they do in Canada and Alaska and put a restocking programme in place. I know that alot of anglers say that this is interfering with the natural salmon but the way its going with poaching, illegal netting etc.,there won't be any left in ten or twenty years.

stocking on the laune would be counter productive the nets men on the river which were filmed netting it all wrong would have a field day at the cost of the anglers who pay there licence the ifi have a lot to answer for especially pat rabbitte labour minister ............
