Trolling Ban Proposed For Glen Lough
#Angling - Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) is seeking submissions from interested parties in relation to a proposal to introduce a byelaw prohibiting trolling on Glen Lough (River Lackagh) in the North Western River Basin District.
The proposal currently under consideration is to request the minister to introduce a byelaw on Glen Lough to prohibit trolling for any species of fish at any time.
Trolling means to fish from a boat, which is being rowed or mechanically propelled through water, by trailing or towing a fishing line with a hook, bait or lure attached.
IFI may, as part of the process, arrange a public consultation meeting if deemed necessary, but all submissions must be received in writing and will be published on the IFI website at www.fisheriesireland.ie.
Submissions should be marked ‘Public consultation - Glen Lough’ and sent by email to [email protected] or by post to:
The Director,
Inland Fisheries Ireland,
Station Road,
Ballyshannon,
Co Donegal
The public consultation period will run for four weeks and the closing date for receipt of submissions is 5pm on Friday 22 July 2016.
