catch returns
Catch returns are invaluable to our work here at South Uist Estates, supporting us to monitor the health of fish stocks. It is also vital in helping us report more accurately on weights.
It is essential that all anglers complete a catch return, even if it is nil. Catch returns should be completed as accurately as possible and submitted at your earliest convenience.
Wild brown trout and sea trout are a unique asset and it is worth taking considerable effort to enhance and protect the fishing so it will continue to flourish for future generations.
Catch Returns available here & can be submitted to: info@southuistestates.com
