#45: - Most fly fishing on the tamar is catch and release. In 45 years I have NEVER seen a Salmon hooked and played for more than 15 minutes, If fact most are returned within 6-8mins nowadays due to conservation issues.  I have NEVER seen eggs dripping out of a fish, where are you seeing this? Any angler keeping a stale fish should be prosecuted as far as Im concerned. But, this post is about conservation of decimated tamar salmon stocks and the nets which do nothing for the cause and sadly will only add to demise of this precious creature which has swam the Tamar for centuries. There are two views on the subject nets / no nets. We just need to ensure that the REAL facts are reported. This is not rich v poor as posts keep reporting, this is conservation.
