This is so personal to me as I have fished the Dee for 35 years. And I am so thankful to these wonderful people, working with the science we now understand, to regenerate the environment and help the success of the salmon and sea trout within the river.
Thank you very much for your kind words - we're hugely positive about the future of the catchment. By taking the necessary action now, we can start to visualise what these locations may look like in the future and how they will function.
Definitely the right way to do it! Frist you need to help the river and when conditions are right, you can start re-planting salmon with egg-boxes so natural selection can work it's wonders. Then the biggest thing would be reducing catch in the ocean, which is the hardest part. As we not only fish for the salmon themselves in the ocean, but also their main food fishes, herring and other small fish, which equals less food for salmon in the ocean.
