South and West Cumberland Fisheries Advisory Committee 8th January, 1979

This is the report from the South and West Cumberland Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 8th January, 1979. It covers information on Ravenglass Salmon Garth, South West Cumbria and opencast coal workings. The section on the report by the area fisheries officer on fishing activities includes river conditions and fishing, and an update on Holmwrangle Hatchery which includes stock numbers and fish distribution. Fish disease and biological work undertaken on fish in Ennerdale Lake are also added, as well as numbers of salmon and sea trout stripping from the River Marron for Holmwrangle Hatchery. 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.
