Beavers continue to be reported from new locations around the Tay catchment and many anglers are speculating on how they may affect salmon and trout populations.  A masters student at Aberdeen University, Dan Ward, wishes to interview anglers fishing locally – both those with regular experience of the beavers, and others - on how they feel about the beavers. The interviews will be about 30 minutes and sound recorded. Names and locations can be confidential and any statements that the interviewee does not want included will not appear in the write up. For people living locally Dan will come and interview you. If interested in taking part in the study, please contact Dan direct 07858975087, r01dsw11@abdn.ac.uk.
