 Welcome here to the banks of the River Teith. We're very honoured to have Joe Stevenson fishing with us today and officially opening the river. There was a very special buzz about Calender this morning while the parade was happening. To be here and be a part of that, it was very heartwarming. And to hear all the positive comments from the people from Calender about the work that Stirling Council are doing to not just promote salmon fishing, promote salmon conservation, engage a use but also promote the local area. And the local economy. Ladies and gentlemen, we are incredibly proud here in Stirling Council of the Fisheries and the Fisheries team. You'll know better than I do the condition of the river as always in superb condition. And the conservation network goes on here in the Calender area as second to none in the entire country. And for that we've really got to thank Scott and his team. Scott, we've got a quake full of Deanston's best and Joe's now going to go and bless the river. I declare the fisheries season open. Good luck everybody. Going through the day, we've got a serious event that's going to be happening inside the Marquis. We've got fly time, which is commencing at quarter past 10. We've got a special guest, Joe, who's got to be tying some flies as well about half past 11. So make sure you head out to the Marquis, get a dram, get some shot bread. Go and watch James Chalmers from Galeforce doing some casting demonstrations, which he's very good at. So, yep, all anchors are welcome to fish for free thereafter on today, as long as they familiarize themselves with the rules. So it's a free day for everyday in attendance. Enjoy yourself. If you catch a fish and you think it's a springer, make sure you shout and scream. Because this man at the front here wants to try and get it on camera. So, yep, loud, wave the arms, shout, scream. And if you think you've got a springer, great. I feel honour to come up to the River Teeth today to be involved in an opening day. And I saw quite a few lady anglers out there having a go, and the people that live up here are really lucky to have such a thing on their doorstep. And we need to get out here and use these rivers to promote the fishing and the wonderful nature that we have around here, because if we don't use these things, they won't be here for much longer. And I hate to use the phrase, but use it or lose it. If we don't encourage people to get out here and use what's available, people aren't going to bother to look after it and then they'll be gone. And the future of our rivers and the future of our fisheries and our fish are going to be the young people. And it's really great to see a few young people out today enjoying the river. We need to see more of them. Teach them about the conservation, teach them about the enjoyment of getting out on the river and fishing to pass that on to the future generations to keep it going on and on and on. And I really, really hope that happens. I would just like to thank our sponsors Anglin Active, Deanston, Moor, Campbell Shortbread, and also the exhibitors who gave up their time to come along. The likes of Lantra, the training body for environmental sector, the Loch Llywyd Troslux National Park, the Atlantic Salmon Trust, the Troslux Mobility Team who are here showcasing their all-terrain vehicle, the Sana and the Scottish Ladies Team who gave up their time to make sure that everybody had a good basic knowledge of fishing if they've never done it before. Also the flytires, the local guys who have gave up their time to come here today to tie flies to showcase the art, which is flytine. So with the young people and the Stanley Fisheries Council and people like the Atlantic Salmon Trust, I believe that the future of the Atlantic salmon is looking a little bit brighter. Thank you.
