Posted @withrepost • @rewildingeurope Scottish rivers are on their way to be wild once again! 🌳🌊
In a joint effort, @treesforlifeuk and @rewildingeurope are aiming to restore river woodlands across the Affric Highlands. So called riparian woods will create a corridor between surviving fragments of native woodland. Restoring trees to the landscape's bare banks will allow natural processes to come to the fore, reducing flood risk, improving water quality and sheltering more life! 🐟🦋
“Water temperature is already rising in Scotland. Restoring woodland and increasing the amount of shade along rivers will help to minimise temperature increases in the future.” says Paul Greaves, Affric Highlands' Riparian Officer.
The Atlantic salmon population greatly benefits from the newly created habitat, which offers a cooler microclimate and its debris sheltering juvenile fish and creating vital spawning beds for a new generation to thrive!

Still plenty of colour about on the trees. The River Prosen at Cortachy, one or two spawning salmon spotted here I think most have headed up or spawned earlier who knows? #atlanticsalmon #spawningsalmon #seatrout #salmon #trout #riverhabitat #southesk #wildsouth #riverprosen #glenprosen #kirriemuir #autumn #VisitAngus

The Malloch Trophy, the highest award a salmon angler can achieve. Never been won by a fish and angler from the North or South Esk (I stand to be corrected). Salmon have to be caught on the fly and over 20lbs, I know of a few that have been caught that are well above this bench mark on the Esk’s. If you would like to enter or know of anyone who might be interested click the link in the bio. Let’s see if we can get the North or South Esk on this wonderful trophy. #atlanticsalmonfishing #salmonfishingscotland #scottishsalmon #mallochtrophy #pdmalloch #swingflies #salmon #dryshoesdontcatch #wildsalmon #salmonfishing #riveresk #northesk #southesk #wildsouthesk #scotland #fishpal #fishesks
Everyone connected to the Esks, have followed the recommendations by the Esk District Salmon Fisheries Board, of catch and release. I am thinking you have no communication with said organisation.
Why would anyone try to promote a trophy, when the common train of thought is for catchers and release.

If you have not seen this film, now you can on channel 5 Select at 20.00hrs / 8.00pm ( Mon 7th November) this evening. The River Esks Fisheries Trust will be doing a lot of similar work and has done in the past, as are many fisheries trusts throughout Scotland. #scottishrivers #scotlandsbigpicture #salmonfishingscotland #conservation #rivermanagement #seatrout #salmon #browntrout #COP27 #climatechange #saveoursalmon #wildsalmon #WildSalmonFirst #southesk #wildsouthesk #northesk #riveresks #esk
Too much about re wilding with no emphasis on predation. There were lots of salon and sea trout 40!years ago with no trees in the headlands. I agree we need coverage on the banks of the river for par and smolt protection but also need predation looked at. We all know the problems but no one has the balls to say it or deal with it.
We also need to look at salmon farming and the devastation it causes to the environment and has done for decades
Thinking of fishing the Esks for the first time?
Here’s what anglers have to say.
