KEEP THE TRADITION OF SALMON NETTING ON THE TAMAR TAVY

Orri, I am afraid I have nothing to do with the EA, so you have not got their attention yet. I can tell you that calculations of Conservation Limits is a highly complex process and is done on an internationally recognised model. The counter figures at Gunnislake and the other 4 index rivers are a way of checking the model for accuracy. It is because of the counter figures that and particularly Tom's re-evaluation which is only sound because of the historic data collected over the last 19 years that Netting is being allowed to continue. IF, as is the case on many other rivers the CL model was calculated using only Rod caught Data the taking of all fish on the Tamar would have to cease. I would therefore advise that you think carefully, and re-read the NLO review together with Tom's re-evaluation before Pooh-poohing the counter data.
