Provost ‘delighted’ at return of tradition to mark fishing rights

Renfrew residents are being encouraged to join Renfrewshire’s Provost as she carries out the traditional act of casting the nets to maintain Renfrew’s fishing rights on the River Clyde.

Taking place in the afternoon of Friday, August 18, Provost Cameron will travel out on to the river by boat to cast the nets.

Guests will then join Renfrewshire’s civic head at Renfrew Town Hall to learn more about the river and view the premiere of a specially commissioned film covering the history of salmon fishing on the Clyde, created by local filmmaker Paul Russell.
