This forum is for general discussion related to Angling. Areas covered would include Media Reports, Conservation Issues and the promotion of the sport.
Developments will also enable the maximisation of the long-term sustainable use of the fisheries resource by overseas and domestic anglers and other recreational users by providing and improving access to existing inland and sea angling fisheries and developing new fisheries. The safety issue is a priority at the major state owned fishing centres.
Complementary to this, LEADER Groups, through the new National Rural Development Programme 2007- 2013 (see below for further details), will also be supporting a range of initiatives in this area, including: . . • the development of recreational tourism including facilities for walking, cycling, angling, pony trekking, bird watching etc. and ancillary facilities such as car parking, and other services such as signage, village renewal etc.; . .
Support will be provided towards the marketing of niche special interest products (e.g. walking, cycling, golf, equestrian, angling) — particularly those that have a strong regional and rural impact.
Now, if we only knew what it meant ...

ooops :oops: I take back the first one. am in a bad temper today and as soon as i saw the words "overseas anglers" i thought "trawlers".
I stand by what i said for the second one though. we don't want too many marks clearly signposted. May it never happen, but imagine if these "foreign nationals" started killing rays!!
Interesting. Can you give a link to the source quoted please, teacher?
I suspect it'll be something like what's happening with the State owned Salmon fisheries. They want to develope their attraction to high-fee paying visiting anglers/tourists, so they'll work to eliminate the local angler's access.
Well, what would you do if you were a fishery manager, who could charge 150+ Euro a day to a visitor, as opposed to a local getting an annual permit for 30 Euro?

listen.........i wear this tracksuit and i represent this contry for fishing. If that means paying an unresnable amount for a license then i would be in seirous doubt wether i would want to represent this contry or not.
sorry mate wasn't having a go, as for the license i don't want to pay one but if it is a reasonable price and it guarantees that no trawlers fishing within one mile of the shore and some area get marked as no take zones and that the minimum sizes for keeping fish goes above breeding size then I would pay it, sorry mate for hurting your pride but you are someone all us aspiring anglers look up (or down) to no matter what age, wear those colours with pride.
No probs MC. im just a bit worked up about the licence because i can no longer afford to salmon fish. if the money, however was going to garantee no trawaling less than a mile from the shore then i would buy one in a flash.
well on the corrib you pay 120 euro for a yearly licence and you get 1 tag to begin and then you get another one in may. but, because there is a limit on the whole fishery of 375(correct me if im wrong bradan :? ) so you might not get that extra tag!

First quote: "sea angling fisheries", but I know what you mean ... second class citizen.

Thanks for that link teacher. Needs a close read, methinks.
I reckon we're about 10 years away from a sea-angling rod licence. They're got to sort the Salmon & Sea-Trout issue, next will be the Brown Trout Fisheries, meanwhile they'll be sorting the Coarse anglers. Once all that's done and dusted, they'll be casting their beady eyes our way.....
