Catch numbers

Salmon in the netThe Spey Board collates the numbers of rod-caught Salmon and Sea Trout twice a year, from February- June and from July- September, in order to monitor the overall catch each year. The last ten-year average (1992-2001) showed that 9,100 Salmon and 4,590 Sea Trout were caught each year. The Salmon and Grilse catch for 2009 fell below this, to 8,625, although in recent years the trend for the numbers of Salmon caught has shown an increase (11,545 in 2008, 10,082 in 2007 and 11,378 in 2006).

The numbers of Spring Salmon, however, remain poor. There has also been a significant decline in the numbers of Sea Trout (1,627 in 2008, 2,199 in 2007 and 3,286 in 2006), although the catch for 2009 was slightly more encouraging at 2,022. The reasons behind this decline in Sea Trout are still unclear and it is currently the subject of research under the Moray Firth Sea Trout Project.
