Fishing Permits for Loch Awe
You may have noticed that there is a new website selling fishing permits for Loch Awe at discounted prices. If you buy these permits you undermine Loch Awe Improvement Association's ability to conserve and manage the fishery for the following reasons:
Reduction of income from permit sales to Loch Awe Improvement Association will undermine its ability to:
· Employ our team of wardens
· Ensure that fishing is conducted in a legal manner
· Ensure that fishing is conducted in a socially responsible manner
· Protect and conserve the fish in the loch and the local environment
· Manage the rubbish that is left at the Lochside.
· Pay for the uplift of the rubbish bins by Argyll and Bute Council
Purchasing cut price fishing permits has consequences for you, the loch and the fishery:
· All their permit money will be taken out of the local economy.
· None of their permit money will be used to protect, maintain or improve the loch or the fishery.
· Rubbish will not be collected or uplifted from the Lochside; it will become an undesirable place to fish or camp
In short, we ask that you continue to buy your permits from the LAIA website to ensure the future of fishing on Loch Awe.
