Madam, - Orri Vigfusson (Opinion & Analysis, April 11th) is speaking the plain truth on salmon conservation. Present Government policy is dishonest and will be disastrous for salmon. In Northern Ireland almost all nets (outside the Foyle area) have been bought out, and only three working nets out of 65 remain: the netsmen voted with their feet and 95 per cent accepted our voluntary scheme. For the future of the salmon, this is the only way forward. - Yours, etc.,
R.J. HAUGHEY, Chairman, Ulster Angling Federation, Broughton Gardens, Belfast 6.
