eel fishing/angling

#1 Post by corbyeire »

just wondering is it fishing for eels including angling or is this netting old stretches in rivers?

from IFI:
Eel fishing is closed until 2012. The prospect of re-opening the eel fishery will be considered at that time, following a review of the data collated as a result of scientific sampling provided for in the draft plan.

Bye-law No C.S. 303, 2009 prohibits fishing for eel, or possessing or selling eel caught in a Fishery District in the State until June 2012.
Bye-Law No 858, 2009 prohibits the issue of eel fishing licences in any Fishery District.

I noticed the IFSA has a regulation where you must return an eel before casting out again in shore comps
