Council officials hope installing new signs urging anglers to tidy up after themselves at Carlingwark Loch will make a difference.
Discarded fishing tackle at Carlingwark Loch in Castle Douglas poses a threat to wildlife and dogs, prompting council officials to install new signs urging anglers to tidy up. A dog walker raised the initial concerns, and the common good committee is acting to promote responsible fishing. Several organizations, including Loch Ken Trust and Galloway Fisheries Trust, are working on a project to rejuvenate the loch, including studies of water quality and invasive species.
