The Clyde Exposed

We are a concerned group of anglers who fish the River Clyde and are shocked at the way the fishings in some areas are managed or should we say not managed. Poaching is a major problem yet anything we report seems to fall on deaf ears. The Crown Estates who own most of the salmon fishings have failed the River Clyde by allowing some of their tennents such as the Avon Angling Club (AAC) and the United Clyde Angling Protective Association Ltd(U.C.A.P.A.Ltd) to control the salmon lease but yet break the terms and conditions of said lease namely failing to prevent poaching. Over the next few weeks we the 'Grass Carp' will attempt to expose all of the nonesense that has gone on and which we feel has held a great river from becoming a premier salmon fishery. We will demonstrate how the Crown Estates and the Scottish Executive have sat on the fence and allowed one angling association to bully others. We will direct you to various web sites where evidence of the underhand tactics of U.C.A.P.A.Ltd This site is dedicated to all of the anglers who care but who are not listened to, perhaps now that everything is being made public those in charge might get off the proverbial fence and do the job they are paid to do!!!! We ask that anyone with any evidence of poaching or failure of an association to protect the fish please let us know and we will petition those who should be doing something about it and request written replies.

Loch Lomond Angling Improvement Association AGM

The L.L.A.I.A. are to hold their Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 26th February 2008.
We have been informed that the A.G.M. will be held without the association accounts being presented. On top of that we have been informed that a female had been their treasurer for several years but never attended any meetings. She has since resigned, it appears that there is something underhand going on within this organisation which is doing their credibility no good.

Loch Lomond Angling Improvement Association is rotten to the core

Grass Carp have recently been handed a pile of documents relating to the LLAIA and boy do they make interesting reading. It is our understanding that serious criminal offences have been committed and as such we will be contacting Strathclyde Police with a view to securing prosecutions against those involved. However before we do that we intend publishing all of the evidence we have to hand to let you the angler see what has been going on. We will name and shame all of those invloved begining with Micheal Brady who is a law on to himself.
One example is that a camera worth £34,000 including software had been proposed for purchase from LLAIA funds and after a period of three years the camera would become the property of Mr Brady.
This is only one example of what is going on another is that LLAIA have been electro-fishing Clyde Tributaries for many years without an electro-fishing licence and removing (stealing) fish for brood stock illegally. Aparently they were arrested for this and last year they decided to get the appropriate licence.
We will post a copy of their constitution and then let the reader make their own minds up.
