Cramond Angling Club (CAC) have confirmed their season ticket prices for next season on their eight-mile stretch of the River Almond from Cramond foreshore to Kirkliston.

They are £45 for adults and £35 for seniors with a £5 charge for juniors. Students tickets are £20.

Chairman Adam Cross said that the season ticket price represents good value for money and stressed that the river is accessible by public transport.

He hopes that contractors will have completed their work on the Fair a Far fish ladder on before the salmon season opens.

And the club plan to host a special celebration on February 2 to welcome the new salmon season and it is on a Saturday to enable as many people as possible to attend.

Cross said: “We have urged the council and the contractors to remove the rubble which is in the river.

“Finishing the project would be of benefit to the river and also our anglers, who are concerned.”

The club have well over 100 members who fish for salmon, sea trout and trout and the committee are organising a series of events next year to raise the profile.

They are likely to include fly tying nights and also river walks.

Other members recently elected to the committee are membership secretary Richy Melrose with Steve Glyn Jones as treasurer.
