Local angling clubs help with stocking out salmon and trout fry

Every spring, once the fry are about an inch long and have started feeding they are restocked out into selected areas in the Nith catchment. For the last few years we have invited local angling groups to come and help us stock the fry out so that they can see the whole hacthery process. This help has been greatly appreciated, especially since we have increased the hatcherys production to over 1 million fry. Many thanks to members of Upper Nithsdale AA, Mid Nithsdale AA, Dumfries and Galloway AA and Burgh Angling Association!
