A salmon fresh from the sea
In some rivers these fish must be returned at certain times of the year
When returning them ensure you:
· Minimise handling of the fish
· Cut the line if deeply hooked
When you return a fish, you are helping to conserve future salmon stocks, the bigger
the fish the more eggs will be laid. A hen salmon will produce as many as 800 eggs/lb weight,
but it is important to return cock fish as well.
Kelt. Must be returned by law
