You can keep any grilse that you catch. The daily pass allows you to fish on a certain section of the river for one day. Our rivers have been divided into zones, each containing several good pools. Daily passes are bought for a particular zone, thereby giving the angler the right to fish that zone for one day. Most zones are restricted, meaning that the number of fisherman allowed on those zones is limited.
Lotteries decide who gets to fish the restricted zones.
Half the rods are decided in a winter lottery and the other half are drawn daily, for fishing 48 hours after the draw. You enter the daily lottery by completing cards on which you list the zones you want to fish, in order of preference. All three rivers have one unlimited zone however, which has no restrictions on the number of anglers per day. It is also the cheapest zone to fish. Fishing our rivers is very easy.
