As I seem unable to post pictures (Tango does it for me) the story of the above fish is; Third time lucky....lost two prior to the 16th....damn barbless hooks !!! At last one stayed on , a very strong fish , it really made the Bougle scream (whilst I uttered again and again the ' Don't let it Fall Off' prayer). The fish weighed about ten pounds and carried a two colour spring tag , will be interested to see when it was trapped at Chester . As usual after catching it I was too elated to carry on fishing ( I must break this habit) . So off home singing the 'I'm a Lucky Bastard ' song as I went . Forecast Harry , lots of rain for the Salmon and calm sunny days for the Tope fishing . Keep the Faith .

Save our Springers. Well done Mick for returning a spring fish! Just in case not everybody is aware these fish have the 2 colour tag. The first angler catching the fish must cut off and return only the green half of the tag. If the fish is caught again, and 8 out of 43 were last year, the angler has only to cut off the blue tag (which has no number) and send with all capture details to Tag Reward, Environment Agency, PO Box 23 Mold, CH7 3ZJ. to claim the reward. Fred.

Thanks for that Fred.......what happens to the information once they've received the tag.
If you know can you tell us because I've been trying to figure it out for years. If your explanation sounds feasible we can forward it to the EA so that they have an idea of what this costly and some may say, futile project, is all about.
