Minimise stress – save lives!

PUBLISHED: 28/05/24

We have been blessed with the highest catches of spring salmon for a number of years this year, however, with the first reports of fish disease rearing their heads we feel it is important to remind anglers and other river users of what they can do to lessen stress on the fish and stop the spread of disease. We know that high temperatures and low water make ideal conditions for disease outbreaks, these conditions also put a strain on fish and this stress can be compounded further by not following best practices, there are simple steps everyone can take to minimise stress to fish.
