The Environment Agency arrived on Tuesday 11th June with 1,000 grayling fry which were released into the beck at the ford on Oliver Lane.
It is our intention to begin habitat improvement work soon. Professor Jonny Gray, Wild Trout Trust is coming to advise on what we can do. We have obtained a flood risk exemption from the EA to allow us to instal log deflectors and we have been given permission by Zetland Estates to proceed.
Pete Fietsch will be organising work parties once we have determined what needs to be done.
The beck remains closed for fishing.
A public meeting took place at the Town Hall, Richmond at which the SOS campaigners outlined their plans to force Yorkshire Water to clean up the river. The event was attended by all of the parliamentary candidates, except Rishi Sunak. There were also several county councillors and members of the town council present.
SOS are planning to put signs up warning people that is not advisable to swim in the river.
Ron Wood spoke for the anglers and explained about the good work being done to improve the habitat to help the fish, birds and wildlife. He also gave an update on the Skeeby Beck pollution incident. He praised local farmers and land owners for their support. Without them we could not do the work we do.
A special event was held at Partridge Lakes, Warrington on Saturday 1st June. Presentations were made to individuals who have supported the Anglers Against Pollution campaign.
The text on the certificate says "In recognition of outstanding voluntary work to protect our water environments".
The event was sponsored by Shimano. Recipients were given a free days fishing with Shimano ambassadors Nick Speed and Shaun Cameron.
Members.
As this year’s memberships rapidly come to a close and we start looking towards 2024/25 can I ask all members to please log into RADAS’s Clubmate.
The link is found on the RADAS website or following this link.
https://richmondangling.org.uk/membership.
PLEASE do not open up another account as this only causes more issues.
If I can ask you to use your email address that you have previously given to RADAS as this will be part of your profile. Clubmate will then send you an email to activate your account.
A few members have stated they are not receiving emails from RADAS or Clubmate and we believe this is down to profiles not being completed.
There may be exceptions and I will deal with those as they arrive.
When logged in can I again ask for members to fill in their full profile including a passport size photograph.
If you are having problems could you email me on Radasmembershipsecretary@gmail.com
and not make entries on the RADAS Facebook page. Emails are sent directly to my laptop and phone and I will respond asap.
Please share with those you know to be members as not everyone will review the RADAS news page.
Many thanks and tight lines🎣
