 Welcome to the glorious banks of Blair Drummond, where we've been very lucky to be joined by Ray Mears. Today was the opening of the salmon season on the 4th Fishery District, and we were lucky enough that Stirling Council managed to secure Ray Mears to come and do the honours. The weather wasn't very keen to us, but the angler still turned out in good fashion. Unlucky we didn't have a fish caught, but we're hopeful that there's a good season lies ahead. At Stirling Council we've been categorised as a category one system. And taking this into account we want to try and engage youths into the sport a lot more. We've lowered the youth season permits by about £70. By doing this I want to work with the local schools, local communities, and developing youth angling on the rivers, because currently there isn't enough. Today was about celebrating the opening of the fishing season, and it was also a thank you from ourself Stirling Council. A thank you to the anglers for supporting us and continuing to support us in the hopefully coming year, where if it wasn't for their support and their continued help, we wouldn't be able to fish on Stirling Council fisheries, because without people buying permits the fishery would be unsustainable. This is the reason that for 2016 season we have frozen the season permits at the prices of 2015. That means that the anglers will see a benefit of the continued support. So I'd just like to say a huge thank you to all the anglers for bearing the weather conditions this morning and for turning out to support Stirling Council fisheries, and also to enjoy and celebrate the opening of the 4th Fishery District. I'd also like to say a big thank you to all our sponsors, which are Anglin Active, Moir, Deanston Distillery and Campbell Shortbread. I'd also like to say a huge thanks to James Jammers of Team Galeforce for his help in making this day a huge success. Thank you.
