The Freshwater Fisheries Forum
The Freshwater Fisheries Forum is intended to provide
the public arena at which attendees can be kept up to date
with developments and be able to express views.
The general purpose of the Forum is to allow for an
exchange of information and discussion of topical issues
and to aid the consultation process and decision making for
any new legislation.
Information about the Freshwater Fisheries Forum can be
accessed on the 'Salmon, Trout and Coarse fishing' web
pages of the Scottish Executive's website at the following
address:

Forum Papers and Steering Group minutes will be posted
here. There is also a discussion forum on the above web
page to provide users with an opportunity to offer and
exchange views and comment on freshwater fisheries
issues.
