Trout Monitoring

Since 2006, trout anglers have been filling in catch logbooks, recording their angling effort, how many fish they catch and their sizes. This information is then crucial for the Tweed Foundation to better monitor the health of the Tweed's Trout stocks. We are always very appreciative of any catch logbooks that get returned to us.

If you would like more details about getting a logbook, please contact Cody at cmcfarlane@tweedfoundation.org.uk

Results from logbooks can be found in our storymaps https://storymaps.arcgis.com/collections/517fbde9d6924eab9a2b5813b3040d58?item=8

Trout spot pattern recognition

Each individual Trout has a unique spot pattern on their gill cover. The Tweed Foundation can use then use pictures sent in from trout anglers to identify individual fish and build up a data base of the Tweed's Trout. If you fish the Tweed catchment and would like to contribute to this study, then please do send us your pictures.
