Abstract

These Byelaws insert a new Part XIX into the principal Byelaws (byelaw 4) and amend byelaw 2(2) of the principal Byelaws so as to extend that Byelaw's application to Part XIX (byelaw 3). The new Part: requires any person who takes a salmon whilst angling during the period from 1 March to 31 May to return it immediately to the water from which it was taken without avoidable injury (except for the part of Lough Melvin in County Fermanagh, in which case the period runs from 1 February to 31 May) (byelaws 85 and 86); and requires any person who takes a salmon in excess of two on any day during the period from 1 June to the start of the annual close season to return it immediately to the water from which it was taken without avoidable injury (byelaws 87, 88, 89 and 90).
