Today see's the statutory opening of the angling season for brown trout in Scotland - some fisheries delay the start of fishing until April. Today is a great opportunity to celebrate this beautiful fish which has such diverse characteristics - both in appearance and life history!

A great example of why river buffers are so vital. If it became mandatory we’d gain hundreds of thousands of miles of connected wildlife corridors.. Bigger impact than re-wilding isolated estates, proper meta-population conservation.

Fenced off stream on left, full stock access on the right. Naturally regenerating woodland v poached ground leaking sediment and nutrients. A scheme to support this on all waterways would be 👌 ✅Habitat ✅Water quality ✅Carbon ✅Minimal loss of production
