 Welcome to the ninth annual opening date of Stirling Council Fisheries, situated here on the banks of the beautiful River Teath in Calender. We had a great turnout this morning for the parade of the anglers. We had around 250 people there, which is absolutely great for the economy of Calender. At a time of year when Calender is generally quite quiet, we are bringing this volume of people to Calender who are all spending money in the local shops and increasing the local economic growth. The weather has been very fortunate this year. It's probably one of the best opening days we've had in terms of the weather that we've got today. You can see in the backdrop behind me, we've got the snow on the bend, the river is a little bit high but it is fishable and it brings out its spectacular beauty and what is the River Teath. It's a hidden gem within Scotland, this little river, and the conditions today with the sun, the snow on the backdrop, it really brings everything out and brings a place to life. 2018 is an exciting year for us here at Stirling Council Fisheries. It's a year of change, quite a lot of change. We've introduced a brand new pricing structure. Everything in the past has been taken off the table and we've sat down as a team and consulted with anglers in our outlets to see how we can go forward and create new love for the sport. We're now offering the chance for anglers to fish both our beets on the River Forth and the River Teath for as little as £200 a year. We're also offering anglers a chance to fish either the Forth or Teath for three months from February and March to April or May, June, July or the last three months in August, September and October for only £100. This is on a catch-n-lease basis. Going forward, and everything we do here at Stirling Council all resolves around conservation. Everything is conservation at the heart. We want to introduce anglers to the sport, we want to get people on the ground, but at the end of the day we don't want to exploit our stocks. So what we've done is we've reduced our carcass tags to two, down from three last year and that has seen a reduction from five a few years ago. So Wille, we had our thought, you're 85 years young, and you've been fishing when I was about 65 then. Well we thought that that is an achievement in itself, so we wanted to do this one, unfortunately we're stuck in traffic, but we'll do it here. And this is for you, that's a nice bottle of Deanston. This is a glass to drink your Deanston out of. And this, if you will accept it, is a lifetime honouring membership. It's a long season here on the River Teith, we're off on nine months of fishing, so I'm hopeful that we can see some new faces on the riverbank and some returning faces as well during now and October. So yes, come along, say hello and come and fish with us because it really is a beautiful place to be.
