Abstract

This Order creates a new salmon fishery district to be known as the Mull Salmon Fishery District and comprises the salmon fishery districts of Baa, Lussa and Pennygown which included the Islands of Mull, Coll, Tiree and the other islands to the west of the coast between Ardmore Point and Fidden Point. The salmon fishery districts of Baa, Lussa and Pennygown are abolished. Article 3 provides for the retention of Regulations relating to matters specified in section 6(6) of the Salmon Fishery (Scotland) Act 1862 (for example due observance of the weekly close time and the meshes of nets) which applied in the superseded districts. These Regulations will apply in the new salmon fishery district. Article 4 provides that the annual close time for the new district is from 27 August to 10 February in each year and that the period in each year within that close time when rod and line fishing only is permitted is 27 August to 31 October.
