ABERAERON TOWN ANGLING CLUB
THE RIVER AERON’S ONLY ANGLING CLUB
Catch returns are essential for the Club to monitor the state of the river. Rather than relying on anecdotal information, it is far better to have an accurate record of fish caught, when they were caught, how they were caught and what effort was needed to catch them. In times of dwindling worldwide stocks of fish, recording fishing effort is now a key feature in completing a catch return. If numbers caught are remaining steady but anglers are having to fish twice as hard to catch them, this tells us something. Catch returns have also formed the central basis for successful claims against polluters in previous years.
Please make every effort to record this information as the season unfolds. Keep a log book or similar and transcribe the information to the catch return at the end of the season. All catch returns must be submitted to the Secretary by 30th November. All completed returns will be entered in a draw for a free season permit for the following year.
