Conserving Scottish Salmon Petition - Please Sign Before 26th January 2015

Stocks of wild salmon returning to their native rivers are drastically on the decline, especially the spring component of the runs, which arguably are the most vital of all. The time of standing back and doing nothing is over as it will soon be too late to do anything about it.

The deadline for signing Ian Gordon's petition to stop the netting of wild Atlantic Salmon until the 1st July will soon be upon us and a final push is underway to try and gain enough support to make the Scottish Government take notice that this practice can no longer continue. The petition has been well supported but the more names added the better. Every little helps as they say!

Please follow the link below and to your name to the petition and do your bit to try and help save such an iconic species. 

 Conserving Scottish Salmon Petition

Thank you and let's hope this will make a difference.

Please Sign And Help Save Our Atlantic Salmon

Spey ghillie and salmon fishing guide, Ian Gordon has teamed up with the Salmon and Trout Association to petition the Scottish Government to try and get the killing of all Atlantic Salmon by either rod or net stopped before 1st July. This would help enormously to conserve what are already dwindling stocks and allow our native, wild salmon a safe journey back to their rivers and spawning grounds.

This is a very good cause and it would be great if anyone reading this with an interest in not only salmon fishing, but fishing in general would sign the petition. Salmon numbers are dropping sharply at the moment due to numerous factors but the sooner the killing of salmon is curtailed the better it. After all, it's a positive step in the right direction.
