BERWICKSHIRE salmon anglers are up in arms after losing their rights to hold season permits for the River Whiteadder.
A season ticket for local anglers last year cost £55 (£30 for senior citizens and £3 for juniors). Now Berwick and District Angling Association will no longer issue season tickets to local anglers and instead only day tickets for salmon fishing will be issued in 2009 - at a cost of £30 per day.
This new charge effectively excludes locals from their river.
Whether this move has something to do with conservation measures I do not know but it is time the officials of the Berwick and District Angling Association explained the move - so far they have remained tight-lipped.
