Following a recent review of fisheries monitoring activities the Agency has decided to introduce a log book scheme for grayling in an attempt to monitor stocks by looking at catches and catch per unit of effort over time. We are short of log book anglers for South Wales rivers (Ogmore/Ewenny, Taff and Rhymney) and I was wondering if any readers would be interested in joining the scheme. If you are interested, please let me have your name and address details and I will arrange for a log book to be posted to you. For each fishing visit you will be asked to complete details of catch (numbers, lengths), location, time spent fishing etc. When you have finished for the season all you then need to do is return completed logbook (freepost) to the agency and you will receive a copy of report published later in the year.

If you are interested (or if you know of anyone who might be - for any river with grayling) please let me have your details by email (rob.evans@environment-agency.gov.uk) or tel; 02920 770088.

I look forward to hearing from you.
