I will be super interested to see how they get on with establishing what populations of fish make it into this 'new' water, the redd count in 2020-2025 might make for interesting review.

So if the river has been dry since the 60s and no salmon have bred there, what salmon will return to spawn the new stretch? Or will they put in hatchery fish?
How long will it take for troot and parr food to re-establish in the new stretch?
And lastly, how steep are the banks?!!!! :shock Wouldn't fancy fishing that steep gravel!  :z4 :z4
Any answers chaps?

I have kept an eye on this, not much out there beyond this: http://www.tdsfb.org/rivergarrymonitoring.html

Not much of substance really. The Tay Foundation have some interesting stuff on the go. So, whilst we wait for more news on the Garry, have a look here: http://www.tayfoundation.org/projects/

Was reading about the Tay board stocking the water with eyed ova last year.
