The N.V.A.A. would like to point out that the local angling club mentioned in Scottish Waters statement on their web site refersto the Wellbrae Angling Club who have the fishing rights to the reservoir. They have not, repeat not approached the N.V.A.A. in regards to compensation. We however are trolling our records and are compiling a year by year account of how many fish have been stocked. It also appears from the Scottish Water statement that the only fauna to suffer was the fish in the reservoir. How wrong they are !!!!! What idiot issued that statement it can clearly be seen from our video footage that the river is destroyed and that more than just fish have suffered and continue to suffer through their negligence. This is company that supplies drinking water to the private and public sector, we bet that if we had polluted their reservoir we would be in the criminal courts. We are also checking the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 2003 and believe that we can press criminal charges in relation to knowingly injuring or destroying salmon juveniles however before we go down that route we will check with the Scottish Executive. We feel that given the bank of silt apparently collapsed on the 9th of May and given the weather forecast for the following day they knowingly allowed that silt to escape. The fact that they may not known that sea trout ( for the purposes of the act they are classed as salmon) spawned below the reservoir is down to them not contacting us before works commenced we would have told them about them. They say ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law.
Perhaps they will be a bit more clearer when trying to sell their spin, you know us, we like everyone to know the facts and will keep everyone updated through this blog page. this is not spin!!!!!!! We invite Scottish Waters Spin Doctor to reply to this!
