Association Compulsory Catch and Release Restriction

Any salmon caught before 16 June must be returned with minimum injury and with minimum delay.

All Sea Trout caught after 1st October must be returned to the river until further notice (This is an association rule passed at the AGM 2011 to try and enhance declining stocks of Sea Trout in the rivers Loughor and Amman) Please do what you can to support this venture as the future of the Loughor as a Sea Trout river is in danger of loosing it's stocks of Sea Trout forever.) Anyone caught with a Sea Trout in their bag after this date will be banned from the association.

On all rivers, streams, drains and canals, any salmon or trout hooked other than in the mouth or throat shall be returned to the water immediately.
 
SAFETY - don’t cast your life away

Fishing near overhead power lines can be extremely dangerous and has resulted in serious injury or death to anglers. Even if your rod does not come into contact with a power line, electricity can arc across and deliver a potentially lethal charge to the angler.

Look up before you tackle up
 
In all cases where an angler is 12 years of age or older they must hold a valid Environment Agency rod licence.

Anyone that is prosecuted by the Environment Agency and is reported to this association as having been prosecuted by the Environment Agency whilst holding a current association permit will be barred from the association for poaching our water.

Please make sure you hold a current Environment Agency rod licence.
