NOT a morning person in the Sea Trout season (or any other time some would say)
Legislation requires that NO Sea Trout or Salmon be killed on the River Annan before the 1st June each year
After the 1st June for the season 2010, the Annan District Salmon Fishery Board has decided that anglers may retain a MAXIMUM of two Sea Trout
in any 24 hour period BUT that all Sea Trout over 3 pounds must be returned to the river unharmed

Grayling, 21 inches, approx 4 pounds, would be Scottish record but no witnesses so returned Applegarth Beat 17th May, 2006 Tony Donnely
Oh and by the way a NUMBER of Scottish record size Grayling have been caught in the Annan in recent years. Non of them are official because the fish was either killed or not enough evidence, just the angler and his camera etc etc but the fish are there - literally in most cases since they were returned!!!
The current Scottish record Chub was caught on the Annan in 1999, see Scottish Federation for Coarse Angling and only a couple of miles away Scottish record Carp, Tench and Bream, have all come from Scotlands Premier Coarse Fishery, Castle Loch, Lochmaben. It is the only fishery in Britain to hold three records. To put it into perspective that's FOUR Scottish record fish from an area about 3, maybe 4 miles across.

Scotlands Premier Coarse Fishery, Castle Loch, Lochmaben.
Now holding three Scottish records.
The only fishery in Britain to hold three records.

Run by the guys at Scottishproanglers who are deeply involved in angling for special needs, angling for kids, fishing in schools programmes, and special teaching days.
