Abstract

The principal changes are as follows: Byelaws 3 and 7 introduce a concessionary season fishing rod licence for specified (disadvantaged) categories of sports fishers. Byelaw 4 reduces from 18 years to 12 years, the age under which persons are exempted from the requirement to hold a fishing rod licence. Byelaw 6 replaces the requirement for any person who takes a salmon in Lough Melvin during the period from 1 February to 31 May to return it immediately to the water without avoidable injury with a requirement to return to the water any salmon taken in excess of one on any day during that period. Byelaw 7 also changes days of duration of specified licenses. Byelaw 8 designates two waters as rainbow trout waters for the purposes of Byelaw 76 of the principal Byelaws, which provides that there shall be no close season for angling for rainbow trout in waters so designated.
