Public urge to report river poachers
The Island's fishery authorities are urging the public to report illegal poaching from Manx rivers.
River fisheries close over the winter period - which starts today - to allow salmon and sea trout to spawn and maintain stock.
There are also bye-laws preventing netting being used to stop fish migrating to and from rivers in a protected zone from Peel bay to Ramsey harbour.
Poaching can be reported to the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture on 685857, or to any of the Island's police stations.
