Sir, – Kevin McDonnell (July 25th) rightly draws attention to the shameful neglect of our salmon fisheries. The Erne became a “vanished Eden” in the 1940s, according to TC Kingsmill Moore.
In the 1930s, AA Luce restricted his bag to two fish from the Liffey. He could not carry more than a brace of 20 pounders on a bicycle. – Yours, etc,
