At the last Board meeting of the Findhorn District Salmon Fishery Board, the Board decided that it is minded for a season extension of 2 weeks for an experimental period of 3 years, subject to agreeing the details at the next Board meeting.
If the Board and Scottish Ministers do approve the experimental season extension, the Findhorn, Nairn and Lossie Fisheries Trust would co-ordinate the collection of additional data during the end-of-season period to ascertain, if possible, whether the extension was having a detrimental effect.
To this end, proprietors are asked to request anglers to photograph all fish taken in the last two weeks of September THIS YEAR, 17th to 29th, so that we can begin to build a more detailed picture of the state of the river and fish stocks at this particular point in the year. Please send the photographs to the Trust office, by e-mail if possible (director@fnlft.org.uk) or by post. Please include the date the fish was caught, the location, an estimate of fish length and weight, and any other relevant information. This information will help the Board in its next discussions on season extension.
