Perhaps it might be an idea for the fishery boards to make them C&R only for a few years. This will not solve the problem ..... but it certainly wouldn't do any harm
At the last Don District Salmon Fishery Board AGM is was unanimously agreed that there should be compulsory C&R for Sea Trout until further notice, hopefully this will go some way to aiding in the recovery of these fish on the Don.
In time, a Trust biologist will undoubtedly look further into the Sea Trout dilemma - in time.
