On Monday 28 March, Defra launched their Invasive Non Native Species (INNS) campaign based around the slogan ‘clean, check, dry’. This campaign is supported by a large number of organisations (including ourselves), and groups such as the Royal Yachting Association, Canoeists, Anglers, British Waterways and many more.

Please find attached a leaflet from EA Wales with information on best practise for catch and realease.

An interesting article from the BCC on the Killer Shrimp. A professor from Cardiff University gives his opinion on the opening day of the fishing season.

With the fishing season now underway, can we all please remain vigilant for identifying and reporting Red Vent Syndrome which remains a problem for Salmon returning to Spawn. Around a third of all returning Salmon have Red Vent Syndrome.
