Effective from 1st February 2025 – The Tweed Salmon Carcass Tagging Code remains a key part of our commitment to sustainable salmon management on the River Tweed. Your cooperation is vital in ensuring the health and longevity of our river and its iconic fish. Spring Salmon form separate and distinct stocks on Tweed. It is imperative to ensure adequate reproduction so that the stocks can sustain themselves. To allow the Spring fish to achieve their best spawning potential it is necessary that all caught fish be returned, unharmed, to the water.   Tweed Salmon Tagging Code 2025
