Local Anglers Raise £1,520 in Support for Missing Salmon Alliance

Raising funds for the fourth year running, we are delighted that £1,520 has been raised by Coul Fishings on the River Conon, Scotland, in support of the Missing Salmon Alliance. The funds raised will go towards MSA led scientific research, lobbying for change, and direct steps on the ground towards supporting the health of wild Atlantic salmon.

John Macaskill, Head Ghillie at Coul Fishings, River Conon, said, “I am delighted to announce that Coul Fishings, with the kind permission of proprietor Mr David Flux has once again raised £1520.00 through our annual charity raffle week. Our charity week provides local anglers a chance to fish the river at a prime time of year while also raising money to support the Missing Salmon Alliance. I feel it is extremely important to once again support the Missing Salmon Alliance in enabling them to combine the expertise of organisations such as the Atlantic Salmon Trust, the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust, Fisheries Management Scotland, Angling Trust, the Rivers Trust and Fish Legal to coordinate activities and provide effective management solutions to help protect and hopefully enhance our iconic wild Atlantic Salmon. 

He continued “I would like to thank everyone who supported the raffle by purchasing a ticket and also two local companies, the Sports and model shop in Dingwall and Grahams of Inverness for their continued support once again this year in assisting with ticket sales.  

We had a very successful week once again this year with successful winning rods coming from all over the north of Scotland including South Uist, Lochinver, Dingwall, Inverness and Beauly. The highlight was a beautiful 15lb fish being landed along with a number of fresh Grilse providing some excellent sport.”
