[SIZE=6]Feale anglers round on IFI after collapse in fish stocks[/SIZE]

Anglers on the River Feale. New restrictions are to be put in place after a collapse in salmon numbers on the river

WEST Limerick anglers have accused Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) of âgross mismanagementâ of the River Feale after it was confirmed that local salmon stocks have hit a record low.
New restrictions are to be put in place on the river in 2013 after salmon numbers failed to reach a conservation quota last year, following a rapid decline in fish life over the past six years.
The exact cause for the collapse in salmon numbers on the Feale is unknown, but local anglers have pointed the finger of blame at the IFI and commercial net fishermen.
Brendan Danaher of the Mountcollins-Brosna Anglers Association said that measures restricting fishing on the Feale will unfairly impact anglers, who are being made to suffer for the âgross mismanagementâ of the Feale by IFI.
However, an IFI spokesperson said that decline in salmon stocks on the Feale is part of a broader decrease in fish life in Irish rivers, and that they have constantly been working to avert a collapse in local fish stocks.
Figures from official counting weirs on the Feale highlight the stark drop in salmon stocks over the past six years. A total of 14,301 fish entered the river in 2007, compared to just 3,788 in 2012.
Last yearâs salmon total came under a designated conservation quota of 4,323, which means that reduced quotas and restrictions are to be rolled out on the Feale in 2013.
IFI has designated that the total permitted catch on the Feale this year will be 1,992 salmon, which is to be divided between anglers and net fishermen.
However the spokesperson said that a decision on how many fish each group will be permitted the catch will not be decided until after a district committee meeting takes place locally, which may not be until April.
Mr Danaher said anglers are concerned that net fishermen have been allowed to over fish on the Feale and Cashen rivers in recent years.
He cited figures provided by Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Fergus OâDowd, in November which show that the top eight net fishing licence holders on the Feale and Cashen caught 787 salmon between them in 2012, more than all 600 licensed anglers on the same rivers combined.
Mr Danaher said that anglers fear that if net fishing is continued to be permitted on the Feale and Cashen into August, when fertile salmon are making their way into the North Atlantic to spawn, âit will decimate further the salmon stocks on a once famous fisheryâ.
- Whatâs the story here Runt?
It absolutely astonishes me that net fishing for Salmon and Sea Trout is still permitted on rivers and in estuaries. These cunts need to be told to fuck off and no compo given to them. They add absolutely nothing to the economy and all they do is destroy fish stocks and the Feale is far from the only river affected. Study after study has shown the economic value of a rod caught fish is many multiples that of a net caught one. Fishing on the Slaney died years ago because of this, they were netting right up to Enniscorthy bridge because it was âtidalâ for fucks sake. Why the fuck does this extremely small minorty of cunts still get to fuck up fishing across Ireland? This is something that has particuarly pissed me off since I started fishing.
Net fishing for salmon really irks me as well. The fact they are still granting licences for it is madness when you consider the fall off in salmon numbers, especially when you consider the value of fishing as a tourist industry versus a few lads throwing a net across the river to make a handy few pound.
Sprat is where its at these days.
Pine Martens

The noble Pine Marten, saviour of the red squirrel cocks a snoot at association football.
The little hoor was panting like fuck after all the chasing.
Only last night I was watching a thing on youtube about a Pine Marten hunting a hare, the little bollix just wouldnât give up and finally got the hare despite the difference in raw speed.
Spent a few hours yesterday evening clearing wild goats off our grassland that adjoins the Burren mountains. I have never seen as many goats together, at least 200 of them.
Its a twice daily job for the next few days (shared amongst neighbours) and eventually they will get the message an fcuk off back to Clare.

How are you âclearingâ them?
