On the Eve of the Salmon Season – The River Tweed



With the new salmon-fishing season about to open on the River Tweed, Sammi Kinghorn and Matt Baker follow the final preparations before the first cast of the year. They meet the people keeping the river’s salmon-fishing traditions alive – from the boatmen returning to the water after winter, and the scientists monitoring the river’s health, to the rod makers and tweed weavers hard at work behind the scenes.\n\nAlso on the programme, Tom Heap investigates a surge in illegal hare coursing that’s left farmers in some areas fearing for their own safety.
