Unconfirmmed rumour so would be wrong to accuse someone based on hearsay. Mayby Chernobyl Ant would be prepared to expand? Don't know who the guy was, but i thought it was a serious disregard for the welfare of the fish. People like him should have their permit or right to fish taken from them, i would hope some of the other anglers present would report this sort of behavior to the proper authorities. |

Doubt if it will make any difference if he is reported as some anglers and beats like to think they are above the guidelines set by the Tay Board  |

No the story is confirmed  I've just spoke with my brother who was up at Pitlochry for a look and he was delighted to see an angler playing what looked to be a good fish, he duly landed said fish then threw it up the bank and proceeded to take a picture of it with the help of his mate, then the fish was dispatched. My brother spoke with another watcher and it turns out it was Ally G and the guy who was watching/helping was a PAC committee member! Now this fish could well have been a bleeder but it doesnt explain why the picture was taken before the fish was knocked on the head  |

I think he means "guttersnipe" which is a somewhat derogatory term to refering to those unfortunates of the lowest class. |

07/02/11 - Shrimp Trial results released In the Summer of 2010 the T.D.S.F.B. applied to the Scottish Government for an experimental licence to trial shrimp fishing during July/August on a number of beats on the middle and lower Tay. The licence was granted for a three-year period, although it was to be operated under strict parameters (the main one being 100% catch-and-release). In 2010 the trial took place during August only. Detailed return forms were completed by each participating beat, and the resulting data was analysed. The T.D.S.F.B. discussed the trial at a recent board meeting, including the results of the data analysis and the merits of continuing it for the remaining two years that were granted under the licence. It has been agreed that the trial will not continue. It has become clear that shrimp fishing was not as popular with anglers as might have been expected (for a number of reasons), and this combined with favourable river conditions for all methods during the trial period led to a situation where it was difficult to see if the shrimp was more or less successful than any other method. Indeed, many of the beats that were included within the trial actually ended up fishing the shrimp rarely if at all. It would seem then that the relative benefits of the trial are not significant enough to justify its continuation. Therefore the shrimp will remain banned as a method throughout 2011 and beyond, just as it has been since 1999. Good news --eh? |

Not in the least surprised at that decision, and glad personally that they have stopped it.
