Field season starting

The two smolt traps and inumerable elver traps are now in place and waiting for the appropriate runs. As well as the fish traps the flow rate is being taken beside each elver trap as its checked and constant water temperature recorders are in each burn. This will give some interesting data and answer questions about the smolt runs as well as the elver runs. its nice to get out and start seeing fish again after the winter.

The notes from the recent Ghillies Seminar are now online at http://www.wsft.co.uk/ if anyone is interested. It was a really interesting Seminar and hopefully the notes do it justice. If you have any questions on the different talks then please drop us an e-mail at wsft@btconnect.com.

Watch this space for updates on the traps, or follow us on Twitter @wsftrust.
