Salmon broodstock collection for Towy restocking

This is an appeal by Viv and Olwen at Llynyfan Hatchery, in conjuction with CFF they have done great work in boosting the salmon and sewin stocks on the Towy. I would implore all members to support their work and thus protect their own fishing:

Llyn-y-fan Hatchery are now collecting Salmon/Sea Trout Broodstock for the Towy restoration scheme.  With the recent introduction of Mandatory Catch & Release on the Wye, for the next ten years (NO Salmon or Sewin can be kept by anglers), it is more important than ever, that we all make our best efforts to maintain and improve our Towy fish stocks.  Some pipes are now being placed in productive areas, these need only be used if the hatchery can not collect tethered fish, or fish are caught late in the day.  It is important to keep fish in the water, when tethering when ever possible.  If you require any further information, please call the hatchery on 01550 740208 if no answer, please leave your name and number clearly and we shall call you back asap.
Deep hooked fish, are NOT suitable for Broodstock.
Many thanks,
Viv & Olwen
