HOME | FISH WELFARE GROUP Recreational Fish Welfare Group Publishes the IFM Guide to The Management of Intensively Stocked Stillwater Coarse Fisheries and the Codes of Practice The Fish Welfare Group, an operative committee of Fisheries and Angling Conservation Trust originally started by SAA, Carp Society, ECHO and BCSG, recently published advice to fishery managers on stocking fish into still waters. As part of its remit to improve the management of coarse fisheries, in particular, and to increase the knowledge base of those responsible for those fisheries the FWG is now re-publishing the Institute of Fisheries Management guide to The Management of Intensively Stocked Stillwater Coarse Fisheries and the Codes of Practice. The IFM Guide and Code of Practice for Intensively Stocked Stillwaters is being made available, with financial support for the Environment Agency, free of charge to coarse fishery managers and other interested parties. Email mike@fisheriesandangling.com to get a copy and give your full name, delivery address and the name and location of the waters you are responsible for, including your club name if the fishery is a club water. Copies will also be available from the following members of the FWG; The IFM Code has previously only been available from the IFM on payment of £5.00. The Fish Welfare Group would like to express its gratitude to the IFM for permission to use the publication and to the Environment Agency for providing the funding to enable this new initiative.
