As the year is drawing to an end, we look forward to another season and hopefully, better times ahead.
The past season has been an extremely disappointing one with a lockdown imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic and when we were permitted to fish, poor conditions conspired against us, resulting in the Association recording some of our poorest catches in recent years.
With Government restrictions still in place, the Association has not been able to hold an Annual General Meeting this year. A newsletter has been prepared to keep members up to date of the relevant matters and is available to collect from the Forres Tackle Shop.
As we were unable to hold an AGM, the committee was therefore not able to obtain the members approval to set the permit prices for the coming season. Therefore, all permit prices for the 2021 season will be as per last year.
It is hoped that Permits will be available for collection, just prior to Christmas.
With regards to an AGM, the intention is hold either an Annual General Meeting or an Extraordinary General Meeting depending upon when restrictions are lifted to enable us to convene a meeting.
It is with regret that we must report that that unless the current Government Regulations allow us, there will be no casting lessons allowed, no fly tying classes available and no opening day ceremony permitted.
Nevertheless, when the river is once again open for fishing on the 11th February 2021, may we wish every fisher ‘TIGHT LINES.’
