Dear all, a non stalking topic but of immense impact to the ecology of Galloway. The Doon River has been saved, for the moment, from a hydro-electric scheme which would have decimated the salmon fishing and related fishing industry in that catchment area has been withdrawn due to the immense public outcry.

Congratulations to all those who voiced, and wrote, thier objections to this scheme.

Regards, Simon
 
Thats good to hear, i have fished the river for many years and its a jewel at times for game fisherman.

Doesnt show up that often in the premier river lists in Scotland but its one of the best in the West coast.

Well done all the people who helped
