South Lancashire Fisheries Advisory Committee 19th June, 1980

This is the report from the South Lancashire Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 19th June, 1980. It includes information on the report by the area fisheries officer on fisheries activities which comments on river conditions and fishing, migratory fish movements for 1980 recorded at Winckley Hall on the River Hodder, and Waddow Weir and Locks Weir on the River Ribble. Also covered is an update on Langcliffe Hatchery, pollution incidents and fish mortalities. It also gives a list of stocking numbers of brown trout, rainbow trout and coarse fish which includes the size of the fish, the source from which they came from, the date and the receiving water. 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.
