Might I suggest that an information booklet containing information about the fish life formerly present, and still surviving in the river Lee would be of interest?..I have fished in the Lee and studied it's various fish life for forty years and, for my own interest, I have written an account of what I learned during this time. However, I would be more than willing to offer as my contribution to the excellent work being carried out on the Lee and it's environs, a description of the fish which this river once held and in many cases still holds to this day. This would include information on Salmon, Sea trout [white trout] and brown trout. I have fortunately, some photos of river Lee salmon and sea trout which in the case of salmon, are undoubtedly the only ones in existance. It might surprise people to realise that the river Lee salmon are not extinct, yet! and even last winter 2007-2008, I observed a few salmon spawning in their traditional spawning areas far upriver on the Lee... If there is any interest in this project I would be more than happy to oblige and, to be honest there are not many, or perhaps any other people left who could provide this information with complete acccuracy. Again I congatulate all concerned with undertaking such excellent work.
