Salmon Catch & Release Advice

Many anglers voluntarily
choose to release salmon,
often as part of wider
conservation measures.
Numerous angling and
radio-tracking studies
have demonstrated high
survival rates and
successful spawning for
salmon released after
capture - up to 100%
under certain conditions.
However, the longer a fish
is out of water, or poorly
handled, the less chance
it has of survival.
So, to give your salmon
the best opportunity of
reaching the spawning
redds, handle with great
care - and follow the
advice in this leaflet.
