You can help by following these guidelines: - Respect local catch limits. Many rivers now operate mandatory catch and release policies for salmon. Use barbless hooks for catch and release. This makes returning a sh much easier and less harmful. When returning a sh, ensure that handling of it is kept to a minimum. Respect wildlife and adhere to advisory signage. Biosecurity Anglers should avoid spreading diseases, parasites and introducing non native species between water bodies by: Not moving sh or other aquatic organisms between waters. Disinfecting shing tackle and drying out waders and nets thoroughly between trips. Respect for others Angling is an activity which many people enjoy to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Other water users have an equal right of access to the water and the enjoyment of the resource should be shared. The following guidance should be followed: Show respect to other anglers and water users. Allow canoes and kayaks to pass without obstruction. Never leave litter, discarded shing line or hooks as this can be lethal to wildlife and poses a danger to people and pets.
