ACTION PLANS\u00a0 – Brief summary of issues to ensure success<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Always join professional bodies that can help with your problems. Obviously they cannot solve all your operational problems but establish contacts,\u00a0 who\u00a0 you can contact in cases of emergency. Sometimes money may be available to improve your fisheries or encourage juniors to become involved in angling.<\/p>\n

Ensure that \u00a0you have adequate contacts with Angling Trust \u00a0staff to get the best support \u00a0for your Association\/Society <\/strong>\u00a0(e.g. for bailiffs courses,\u00a0 local\u00a0 competitions, \u00a0for coaching advice, for COVID-19 advice, etc.).<\/p>\n

Institute of Fisheries Managements<\/strong> ( for members who wish to develop their management and professional skills to help your\u00a0 Society or Association).\u00a0 Provide financial support to interested members where you can. Encourage involvement for all interested members<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Environment Agency<\/strong> (for advice on fish transfers between \u00a0different waters, \u00a0management of predators, and general club management issues.) sometimes money may be available to Associations for fishery improvements.<\/p>\n

fish stock assessments.<\/p>\n

Management Consultants<\/strong> (for Ad \u00a0hoc work – check costs and scope) Can be over expensive<\/p>\n

Appoint someone to act as\u00a0 Fishery Manager and a Fishery support team to maintain the angling stations, inflows, outflows, fish mortality records,\u00a0 predation\u00a0 issues, site cleanliness issues, etc. The Fishery Manager should be on the committee and report on any issues of Fishery\u00a0 concern.

Sometimes working with other clubs than eliminate the need to have your\u00a0 own meters for all measurements and can prove cost effective.\u00a0 Have contacts who can help with meter calibration if necessary.\u00a0 For some measurements that\u00a0 need be taken only\u00a0 occasionally,\u00a0 rather than on a frequent basis (e.g.ammonia levels, silt levels, etc); you may be able to liaise with the Environment Agency or other Associations\u00a0 to assist in taking such measurements.<\/p>\n

f) DISEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have basic monitoring \u00a0and recording systems for fish mortality.<\/p>\n
