(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations specify natural prawns and shrimps for the purposes of the definition of "rod and line" in section 24(1) of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries (Protection) (Scotland) Act 1951. They apply to the River Tweed and its tributaries (including that part of the River Tweed which is situated in England) during the period from 1st June to 14th September in each year. The effect is that during that period rod and line fishing for salmon and sea trout using natural prawns or shrimps as bait is prohibited.
1951 c. 26; section 24(1) was amended by section 8(6) of the Salmon Act 1986.
