    30 for 3hrs is a p*ss take, not surprised "not many people know about it". For 30 I'd expect a full day of C&R like the majority of other fisheries in the country. Some folk have serious ideas of grandure and need to wake up and look around.

    Sounds pricey alright.
    What are folks thoughts on situating a put & take fishery within metres of a wild fishery like the Dargle?
    There are significant risks associated with locating it so close to a river which is subject to violent spates - disease in particular and genetic pollution.
    Are there brownies in there?

    The dargle has brown trout there but they tend to be small. I was surprised Hugh got permission for this - I remember being down there during the works. It looked tiny tbh. It is/was a fantastic sea trout fishery, (was last there summer 2009 - I think?).

    Oh sorry, I meant is Tinnehinch stocked with browns?
    The Dargle is a fantastic river for sure. I spent (mis-spent?) far too much time there as a chap.
