Scottish Record Coarse Fish ListThe list is vital to the future of coarse fishing in Scotland as a way of raising general awareness and confirming the variety and value of Scotland's coarse fish. Many people catch record fish each year and do not claim a record. Please help us by encouraging anyone you know to make a claim if they are lucky enough to catch that coarse fish of a lifetime. |

No claim will be considered in respect of coarse fish that have been killed, on or after capture, fish must be returned to the water alive.
The claim should be made on a form available from the Fish Recorder of the Scottish Record Coarse Fish Committee (see below). The Committee must be satisfied by the evidence that the fish was correctly identified and weighed, and was captured by fair angling.
The decision of the committee is final and no correspondence thereafter will be entered into.
New claims will be considered subject to the following minimum requirements -
· Photographs of the fish must be available.
· The scales must be certified as accurate.
· Witnesses will assist the claim and, if possible, should be experienced anglers.
