    If I may I would like to say that I consider myself very lucky having lived in the Beautiful Highlands of Scotland (God's Country) very nearly all of my 79+ years. Perhaps I will be excused by all you kind readers, if I say that my 'field experience' would be hard to better, whether it be after Deer, Wildfowl, Game or Vermin. Late in life (43) I eventually got myself a riding horse and throughly enjoyed competitive Show Jumping and Cross Country for a further 13 years.

    Today I chanced to meet up with the local rabbit control officer. He told me about some very old photos he was shown just recently of fish caught by the Balnagown Castle owners in the '30s.

Even now there are no real runs of fish taking place. Should I be lucky enough to trace the photos I'll 'post' them. Regards. Euilleam

    Many Fishery Boards have introduced a "Return Catch" policy. As an experienced Vintage year old Ex Salmon Fisher, I am entirely opposed to this senseless ruling. Hooked Salmon when reeled in invariably lose numerous scales, resulting in the released fish being vulnerable to a number of diseases in their rivers. The diminishing number of Salmon caught in our rivers is neither due to over fishing, or even the occasional "One for the Pot", but rather to the operations of deep sea fishing methods.

    I also found the same issue when I wanted my Pups Jabbed.
