Next season MCAA Salmon permit has been raised to £80 for members who sent in their catch returns and £100 for the members who didn’t, again the extra monies raised will go to our charity for the year.The returns must be compiled and sent to Marine Scotland otherwise we could face a fine of £1000.
William Weir , who dose the returns has asked the following statement to be publish on the site.
This year was a very poor show for catch returns,as a result we have tried our best to make it as easy as possible going forward.The following guidelines have been put in place and we urge members to follow them next season.
Please refrain from passing catch returns onto others to send on your behalf,it is each members responsibility to ensure they are sent on time.When sending them please ensure they are sent via the website or posted directly to myself , if they are getting posted please include a stamp or they will not be collected from the post office , any being sent out with the above methods will not be accepted, any arriving after the cutoff point of 30th November will not be accepted and you may need to pay more for your permit the following season
There was 56 members failing to sent these returns in.
River Management has three set date next season for clean up Sunday 25th March,Sunday 24th June and 26 August,one again we are asking for help for these clean ups.Times and venues will be added nearer these dates.
