We practice barbless fly only fishing and with mandatory catch and release, with the exception of Rainbow Trout on all of our waters, please read the note below on Salmon.

Release ALL salmon.

  • Always carry an appropriate knotless net, never beach a fish.
  • Always carry a Ketchum or similar appropriate disgorger.
  • Before starting to fish look to ensure a suitable place to net it.
  • The use of treble hooks in any form of fishing is prohibited.
  • Ensure barbs are fully closed on double and single hooks.
  • Play the fish as quickly as possible.
  • Keep the fish in the net in the water whilst unhooking and photographing.
  • Never pick the fish up by the wrist ( tail ).
  • When releasing gently hold the fish with its head upstream and be patient, it will swim off when it is ready.
  • During extended hot weather and low flows salmon will be stressed anyway and we recommend not fishing in these conditions.
