Fishing at Cairnton

The Dee Conservation Code 2011

The Dee DSFB will consider the continuation of the season extension into the first two weeks of October for 2011 and onwards at their meeting in March 2011, following the collection and analysis of information from the monitoring programme.

So, as far as Cairnton fishing will proceed:

  • We start on 1 February 2011.
  • 100% catch and release of Salmon and Grilse.
  • Fly only, no trebles, barbless or crimped.
  • ALL salmon and grilse returned.
  • Sea Trout and Finnock: there should be 100% catch and release.
  • It is illegal to sell rod caught wild salmon or sea trout.
  • All anglers are asked to read, act upon and sign the Gyrodactylus salaris declaration.

The full papers on the Dee Board Code, with rationale, are available in both the Rod-room and Ferroch hut.

Thank you and "Tight lines" in 2011.
