The Celtic Sea Trout Project (CSTP) is a European Union, Interreg IV‐funded, Ireland‐Wales collaborative project looking into the status, distribution, genetics and ecology of sea trout around the Irish Sea (http://celticseatrout.com/?page_id=6). Several key aspects of the project require scales samples from rod‐caught fish within the Irish and Celtic Sea regions, especially from the priority river systems and fish caught at sea.

As an incentive to anglers to participate in scale collection in 2012, the CSTP project partners are offering three €100 tackle voucher prizes to be awarded to 3 anglers drawn at random from filled scale envelopes submitted to the project from anglers fishing within the project area (Irish and south Celtic Seas) in 2012.

How to get involved?

In order to have a chance to win all you will need to do is submit scale samples from your fish using one of these CSTP scale envelopes. To find out how to get your sample kits go to: (http://celticseatrout.com/?page_id=646 ) or contact the relevant people below.
