The Salmon & Trout Association (S&TA) is a charity whose members include game anglers, fishery owners/managers, affiliated trades and members of the public with an interest in conserving the aquatic environment and its dependent species. We address all issues relevant to fisheries legislation and regulation, together with environmental and species management and conservation.
We have close working relationships with Government departments and agencies, advising them over fisheries and angling matters and influencing their decision-making processes on behalf of all those with an interest in the aquatic environment. read more

Monitoring is essential to gauge the success of aquatic management, and the Association sees fly life as central to this
process. read more
Sheep Dips
Cypermethrin sheep dips are toxic insecticides designed to kill parasites, but in concentrations as low as 1 part
per billion, they cause devastation to aquatic invertebrate populations, and also damage the reproduction and
juvenile life stages of salmonids. read more
Access
Other important issues recently include the attempt by the British Canoe Union to gain legal access to all waterways
in the UK. S&TA continues to lobby hard for voluntary joint access agreements for water users, rather than a blanket
right for any one sport to run roughshod over riparian rights – a view for which the Government has since confirmed
its strong support. read more
Salmon, trout, Sea Trout and Grayling Management
We advise and influence both nationally and internationally over the management of all our game fish species, with issues such as the implementation of the EA’s Trout and Grayling Strategy and Sea Trout and Salmon Strategy, and were one of the NGOs closely involved in the process which ultimately led to the closure of the Irish Republic’s drift net salmon fishery, read more
Education
Education is a priority within S&TA, highlighted by the publication of our Brown Trout Big Book, which was distributed to 11,000 primary schools throughout England and 2,500 throughout Scotland and the Scottish Islands, introducing children to the aquatic environment through the life cycle of the brown trout. read more
