The Trust is pleased to announce that it is now in a position to think seriously about biding for funding to enable it to put in hand much needed improvement works to the Clwyd and Conwy river systems. However in order to secure this funding it will be necessary for us to submit formal bids or applications to the various funding bodies.
To do that we need to know what improvements are needed? We are all aware of areas that we feel need work but we need to co-ordinate the recording of these in a meaningful way so that our bids are both as accurate as possible and as relevant as possible to specific areas on the rivers. This is where we need your club or syndicates help: you have to carry out detailed surveys of your river.

The Celtic Sea Trout Initiative is to be formally launched 11th March at the Environment Agency Offices in Bangor.
The Celtic Sea Trout Programme aims are:
- To understand and describe sea trout stocks in the Irish Sea and thereby to enhance sea trout fisheries and strengthen their contributions to quality of life, to rural economies and to national biodiversity.
- To explore the use of sea trout life history variation as a tool to detect and understand the effects of climate change.
The project involves the collection of sea trout scale samples from 80 rivers, estuaries, coastal waters and further offshore, over three years.
