(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend Regulation 2 of the Salmon (Definition of Methods of Net Fishing and Construction of Nets) (Scotland) Regulations 1992. Adjustments are made to the definition of fishing by net and coble or by bag net, fly net or other stake net to cover working the net from bank or shore or adjacent to bank or shore and to prevent the use of nets or traps designed or constructed to enmesh the salmon. These Regulations also amend Regulations 8 and 9 to make it clear that they do not impinge on the operation of Regulation 2.
