Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Byelaws.)
These Byelaws amend the Fisheries Byelaws (Northern Ireland) 1997. The principal changes are as follows:
1. These Byelaws designate a number of waters as rainbow trout waters for the purposes of Byelaw 76 of the Fisheries Byelaws (Northern Ireland) 1997 (“the principal Byelaws”) which provides that there shall be no close season for angling for rainbow trout in waters so designated. (Byelaw 3)
2. Byelaw 4 corrects Byelaw 72 of the principal Byelaws (annual close season for angling for salmon, trout and rainbow trout) by restricting its application only to those waters to which Section 25 of the Fisheries Act (Northern Ireland) 1966 applies. These are the salmon and inland fisheries of Nothern Ireland other than the fisheries in the Londonderry area.
3. These Byelaws increase the licence duties payable from 1st January 2000 for fishing with rod and line and hand line for salmon and freshwater fish and for commercial fishing engines used for the taking of salmon and freshwater fish other than eels together with the fee payable for a licence which authorises the holder to buy and sell salmon, trout and eels. (Byelaw 5)
