**IMPORTANT**

Gyrodactylus Salaris is a parasite which will devastate salmon stocks if it ever reaches Scotland.

The 'Home & Dry' website at:

provides details about the parasite and how to prevent its introduction. Please look at this site and make sure you are aware of all the risks and take the necessary action before you fish in Scotland.
