Week ending 20/sept/06 goldenloch
Latest update on activities at the Goldenloch, looking forward as there is no point dwelling on what has happened, we have 500 fish arriving to-morrow and after I call SEPA and SERAD so long as none die, (lets hope the driver gets the o2 right) we get permission to start fishing again, YES, but there’s a twist, the department for the environment, have kicked in to-day and reckon there might be a public heath issue at the Goldenloch, as far as they were concerned and on doing a risk assessment they felt that we could not allow fish to enter the food chain, My answer to him was, would he consider allow us to reopen to-morrow so long as all the fish caught were returned to the water unharmed and that we would kill 3 a day for a week and bring them in to their labs for analysis’s, he thought that sounded a good idea and would discuss it with his colloquies and so long as nothing died naturally he reckoned that if the fish that were put in were good, all would go to plan. This is the best I can do at the moment and hope nae pray for a good day to-morrow, it’s a very quite place without the anglers, never thought for a moment that we would have a week without seeing some of your faces one or two guys have been seen cruising past, do come in I wont bite in fact I will be very glad to see you.
