North Cumbria Fisheries Advisory Committee 24th June, 1980

This is the report from the North Cumbria Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 24th June, 1980. It includes the report by the area fisheries officer on fisheries activities which comments on river conditions and fishing, migratory fish movements, and an update on Holmwrangle Hatchery. The report also includes fish mortalities, fish diseases, management work, poaching, the pipeline project with the British Gas Corporation and the plotting of the 'Alter Stone' on the Solway Estuary to assist the bailiffs in identifying the charter area boundary. 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.
