Documentary on Sea Trout and Salmon in Ireland....

Great documentary from the 80's on drift netting, poaching and how the effects of overfishing will effect the salmon stocks of the future. The late Eamon De Butler makes an appearance also. It is a great find and one of kind as you don't see documentaries like this anymore.

Only the late Eamon De Butler (RIP) could combine stunning imagery with original traditional music to tell a complex life history of sea trout in an historic setting filled with such dedicated advocates as Sean Nixon (RIP) and David "Doc" Piggins (RIP). A young and enthusiastic Jim Stafford is now set to retire in the company of his lovely wife who ran Aasleagh Lodge and the Erriff Fishery with devotion to the joy of all visiting anglers. We wish Jim and Mary "tight lines" in their happy retirement.

between pollution and over fishing at sea, im surprises there are fish in any of the river systems, between those criminal scum bags with there diesel, farm run offs, and netting by poaching just makes one sick to the teeth of how people think its appropriate to conduct themselves with out consideration to others or the environment around them, I've sat in company with men speaking of the quality or fishing 30 years ago, and from the rivers i fished over the years, the numbers are not there anymore. People found guilty of these crimes should be named and shamed, publicly humiliated and locked up, complete and absolute a lower class of life. i wish them ill will and there money brings them nothing but sorrow!

So sad. They warned us

There won’t be a wild salmon left in the next twenty years. They are wiping them out here in Newfoundland too with all the salmon farms.

The fine then and now are funking joke and they still do jack shirt about Cormorants sad but true

Mark Turnbull there shouldn’t be a cormorant, seal, otter, heron or kingfisher left on any river system. Shoot everything that eats salmon or white trout.
