These Regulations specify certain baits and lures for the purposes of the definition of “rod and line” in section 24(1) of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries (Protection) (Scotland) Act 1951 (“the 1951 Act”).
The Regulations apply to the River Findhorn and its tributaries within the River Findhorn Salmon Fishery District.
Regulation 2(1) specifies organic bait. The specification of organic bait applies from 11th February to 30th September, both dates included, in each year (regulation 2(2)).
Regulation 3(1) specifies lures. The specification of lures applies from 1st May to 30th September, both dates included, in each year (regulation 3(2)).
The effect of the Regulations is to prohibit the use of those baits and lures when fishing in the River Findhorn and its tributaries by rod and line for salmon or sea trout. Contravention of this prohibition is an offence under section 2(4) of the 1951 Act. The penalties are fixed by section 18 of that Act.
