News: conservation, legislation and fly fishing across the UK
Wild Atlantic salmon is now endangered in UK waters, catch limits are tightening across Scotland and Ireland, and the pressure on rivers from pollution, abstraction and habitat loss has never been greater. For anyone who fishes for wild trout, sea trout or salmon, staying informed has never mattered more.
Trout & Salmon’s news section covers the stories that shape the sport – conservation developments, regulatory changes, river conditions, hatchery programmes, fishing access disputes and the environmental battles being fought on behalf of the fish we love. We report across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, with a close eye on the science and the policy driving change.
This is news written by anglers who understand what’s at stake – on the riverbank and in the legislation that governs it.
