Hi Mike
Latest is that fishers at Inverbervie are looking :grinto form their own angling association to run their own affairs. This is absolutely splendid news and if it comes to fruition (a similar attempt back in 1993 foundered) then there will be no-one more delighted for the fish and true anglers of Inverbervie, than our own Association.
With its excellent track record of protecting and conserving wild salmonids and their habitat, the Dee Board as new fishery owner will certainly be able to help the fledgling angling club with these objectives
, under the umbrella of the Esk Board as the statutory body there.
All we ever wanted down there, was the demise of the wholly unacceptable minority rod-and-line poaching in favour of the majority of locals and other folk who wish to fish there by fair means (still free-of-charge in the case of the residents of the Royal Burgh)...........this is now inevitable and to that end all the hassle has probably been worthwhile.
