Last week, our Conservation Officer Gareth Pedley led a two-day practical skills workshop on Scotland's River Isla 💧🌿 The group learned simple but effective techniques for improving river habitat, and shared ideas about how they could be applied in the River Deveron catchment.
Lewis Docherty battling with a strong mid teens salmon in a North Uist water that he hooked on a Silver Stoat. Unfortunately for Lewis the fish won this battle!

Anglers, at their best, can be the front line of gathering integral information for Atlantic Salmon's wider conservation community. If this is a process you would like to be a part of, visit @fms_scotland to find out more.

Numbers of non-native pink salmon caught in Scotland have been creeping up🐟
There's an interactive map showing all the sightings on the @fms_scotland website 👉fms.scot/pink-salmon-in-scot…
So if you catch one make sure and record it here too, so it can be counted!

In 2019, the #MorayFirthTrackingProject taught us that 50% of smolts went missing before they left the river. For years 2&3, we intend to find out why fish are going missing & encourage actions to increase the number of adults returning. Find out more: bit.ly/3iKBJhj

A gorgeous bit of riverine photography from the @FishtheNess instagram. Look at the colours reflected in this fresh run Salmon's flank.

#FishFactFriday The wild Atlantic salmon is an extraordinary species. It is able to survive in both fresh and saltwater and navigates thousands of miles to feeding grounds in the northern oceans before returning to the place of its birth to reproduce.
