On Wednesday 24 July 2024, a draw took place for the fourth allocation of 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 86 valid entries were received from salmon rod licence holders. Each was assigned a number in advance of the draw.

Fifty-eight numbers were randomly generated. The first 53 successful entrants will be issued a brown tag by post in the coming days. The final 5 numbers are reserved in case an angler declines or returns the tag allocated to them.

The draw was observed by Sean Long (RBD Director), John Twomey (Fisheries Inspector), Chris Scanlan (Fisheries Officer) and Myles Kelly (Angling Advisor and Website Manager).
