BAILIFFING
The River Board employs a Head Bailiff and 3 Under
Bailiffs plus a number
of water watchers, all part time. All the bailiffs have passed the
examination set by the Institute of Fishing Management. In the seventies and eighties the bailiffs were fully engaged in catching
the gangs who came to the river to poach fish by all of the illegal methods.
Fortunately these gangs no longer exist, mainly due to the diligence of the
bailiffs and the changes in the law. The bailiffs main duties now are to
educate those anglers who still want to kill every fish, on the advantages
of catch and release, returning hen fish in October and the numerous other
policies which the Stinchar River Board has implemented over a number of
years. The true angler who pursues the king of fish in a truly sporting
manner has nothing to fear from the bailiff.
