Here is a link to a web blog from the River Annan regarding the taking of backend fish. There are lessons to be learnt from this incident and anglers should be aware that they must take into account the condition of any fish they catch before they kill it. Bear in mind that the Wild Fisheries Review recommendation that all wild salmon should be returned alive after capture may become Law should the Scottish Government decide to take this forwards and this is partly based on anglers unwillingness to self regulate and return fish. Please think carefully before killing any salmon.
