South Lancashire Fisheries Advisory Committee 4th April, 1979

This is the report from the South Lancashire Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 4th April, 1979. It includes information on the match fishing experiment at Mitton Fishery, giving the total numbers of each species caught. Also covered is the report by the area fisheries officer on fisheries activities which comments on river conditions and fishing, migratory fish movements for 1978 recorded at Winckley Hall, Waddow Weir and Locks Weir and an update on Langcliffe hatchery including mortalities and stocking. It also looks at the spawning of salmon and sea trout in the Ribble and Hodder for the 1978 season and it gives the data of monthly salmon catches on rod, line, nets and fixed engines for the 1978 season. The Fisheries Advisory Committee was part of the Regional Water Authorities, in this case the North West Water Authority. This preceded the Environment Agency which came into existence in 1996.
