The end of another successful smolt trapping season. No peak in numbers observed, but a steady stream throughout the sampling period. Many thanks to Colin, SCENE, for the use of the trap and to the Estate for their help with everything.

A very successful round of sweep netting - lovely fish, good weather and great craic. Still buzzing :)

This are getting busy now, with 2 smolt traps running, but great to see some lovely fish passing through. Good to get some decent weather as well - although less of the bitey things would be appreciated!

#FridayChallenge As the last one of the season, I'm going back in time. This was sent in by an angler but apologies as I can't remember who. A lovely photo, but can you identify the beat?

#FridayChallenge Out for a walk yesterday checking out a possible restoration project, and boy did we get the weather. However, can you work out where we were?

Going fishing? 🎣

Invasive non-native plants and animals kill fish and block waterways.

Keep your kit clean to protect your fishing.

After you leave the water, remember to:
🔎Check
🚿Clean
☀️Dry

It's even more important if you've been abroad!

Killer shrimp are tiny but aggressive. They attack and kill native species including fish eggs.

Help prevent their spread, remember to #CheckCleanDry your kit after you leave the water.
