It is bad enough that the IFI are trying to TAX anglers, but now they are asking the netsmen to take salmon from the rivers as they are so plentiful... this is from the Burren smokehouse website. After the introduction of the commercial driftnet fishing ban in Irish waters in 2006, the salmon stocks have reached a much healthier level. For this reason, the Inland Fisheries Board asked local fishermen to fish small and clearly defined amounts of salmon for stock management purposes: after the conservation stock limit of salmon (i.e. the critical number necessary for the conservation of the species) lay their eggs in the shallow waters of the rivers, these “nests” would be greatly disturbed by too great a number of salmon coming up the rivers. burrensmokehouse.ie/blog/about/how-we-smoke-our-salmon/wild-irish-salmon
