Please read and complete this Gyrodactylus Salaris Declaration form carefully.

Gyrodactylus Salaris (GS) is an extremely dangerous parasite responsible for the destruction of salmon stocks in over 20 rivers in Norway. It is also present in Russia, Finland, Sweden, Germany, France, Spain and Portugal. It is vital that this GS declaration has been completed and signed by anglers and ensures the appropriate precautions are taken to prevent the spread of Gyrodactylus Salaris.

It is the policy of Forsinard Flyfishers’ Club that no fishing is to take place until a GS declaration has been signed.

I will wear my own buoyancy aid and I agree that it is fully functioning, not damaged and correctly fits me.
