Today is a momentous day for Irish Salmon Angling.
A meeting of the Cabinet of the Irish Government today accepted the report of the Independant Salmon Group established to examine the Implications of Alignment with the Scientific Advice for the Commercial Salmon Fishing Sectorin 2007 and Beyond.
This means a complete cessation of drift net fishing
or any other form of harvesting outside rivers and estuaries.
