West Sutherland Fisheries Trust
Established in 1996, the Trust works with all stakeholders including proprietors, anglers and regulatory authorities to protect and restore all fish stocks within the area. The stated aim of the Trust is to return salmonid populations to the levels seen in the 1970's through the conservation and protection of fish species in each catchment. This will best be achieved by habitat and fisheries management through the Fishery Management Plan and individual catchment management plans. The Trust continues to support the use of catch and release as a useful management tool, and by promoting good practice we hope to retain sustainable fisheries for the benefit of all.
West Sutherland Fisheries Trust
The Trust is reliant on the good will and financial support of a range of organisations and individuals. Our sincere thanks go to all those listed, and to the many individuals who will remain anonymous but have donated time and money to the Trust and its activities, and without whom we could not operate.
