Following yesterday’s patrol and chance riparian owner meeting, I later received a message about hidden netting at a popular bridge pool.
This has now been dealt with thanks to the quick report.

If you need to report any illegal fishing activity please ☎️ 0800807060 or online..

[EA Fisheries - Devon and Cornwall @DCFishEA]

Illegal set line found out on routine patrol this morning. Fishing on most reservoirs has now finished for the season but we continue to patrol and respond to illegal fishing reports.

☎️0800 807060 if you see any suspicious activity.

If you are going fishing today and want to enjoy your bank holiday Monday, please remember to buy a rod licence.

3 hours into my shift and already 4 without a valid licence.

It never ceases to amaze me that a salmon that had spent it’s adult life swimming vast oceans will suddenly swim up tiny rivers and risk it all to pass on its genes. This one did just that though this week.

🐟 500 fish saved! Our electrofishing team moved trout, eels, minnow and more from drying sections of the upper River Hems, South Devon, to flowing water downstream.
Without action, these fish wouldn't have survived the drought.

Our EA Fisheries Enforcement Officers have responded to a report of illegal fishing in Exeter today. Offences dealt with in relation to SAFF Act 1975 will result in a criminal record.

We enforce to protect fish stocks. 🐟

Joint sea patrol with @CornwallIFCA protecting marine and migratory fish stocks in our estuaries.

[EA Fisheries - Devon and Cornwall @DCFishEA]

Our rivers are fine balanced ecosystems providing habitat to some amazing species. In the south west this includes migratory trout and salmon.
Please don’t make their travel upstream any harder by adding unnecessary man-made structures that block fish passage.

Summer holidays, weekend rod licence checking.

Four anglers reported for fishing without a licence in just under one hour patrolling.

Don’t make the same mistake. Buy a rod licence👇

Mts bay and lands end sea patrol.
Not very often to have wind and weather in favour like this….

Our Fisheries Enforcement Officer has been out today auditing fish introductions in Cornwall. Great to see all fish swim off in good conditions.

[EA Fisheries - Devon and Cornwall @DCFishEA]

Last nights patrol following up on reports of illegal fishing, set lines and fish traps. Our patrol covered coarse and fly fisheries as well as salmonid rivers.

If you are out fishing, please make sure you have a valid rod licence.

In the hot dry weather algal blooms can form in our rivers, lakes and seas.

When we receive a report we collect and analyse samples. If confirmed as Blue Green Algae it presents a risk to people and pets and we advise landowners to erect warning signs.

With less than 1% of average rain so far this month and some rivers as hot as 24C, the West Country is now in prolonged dry weather.
We are keeping a close eye on river flows and temperatures and responding to incidents like rescuing fish in distress.
