On Thursday 29 May 2024, a draw took place to allocate the third allocation of 55 Brown Tags for the taking of salmon on the Lower Lee. The requirement to hold a brown tag is set out in Wild Salmon and Sea Trout Tagging Scheme (Amendment) Regulations.
Anglers may only receive one Brown Tag per season for use on the River Lee catchment.
A total of 130 valid entries were received from salmon rod licence holders. Each was assigned a number in advance of the draw.
65 numbers were randomly generated. The first 55 successful entrants will be issued a brown tag no later than Friday. The final 10 numbers are reserved in case an angler declines or returns the tag allocated to them.
The draw was observed by Sean Long (RBD Director), Chris Scanlan (Fisheries Officer) and Myles Kelly (Angling Advisor and Website Manager).
