South Lancashire Fisheries Advisory Committee 17th October, 1979.

This is the report from the South Lancashire Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 17th October 1979. The report contains the minutes of the last meeting along with the minutes of the Regional Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, and a brief mention of Stocks Reservoir. It also includes the report by the area fisheries officer which looks at river conditions, fishing and migratory fish movements on Rivers Ribble and Hodder, an update on Langcliffe hatchery, and stockings carried out by Angling Associations and the Water Authority. 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.
