The Fisheries Conservancy Board for Northern Ireland, in exercise of the powers conferred on it by sections 26(1) and 37(1) of the Fisheries Act (Northern Ireland) 1966[1] and of every other power enabling it in that behalf, with the approval of the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure[2], hereby makes the following Byelaws: Citation and commencement 1. These Byelaws may be cited as the Fisheries (Amendment No. 3) Byelaws (Northern Ireland) 2002 and shall come into operation on 1st January 2003. Amendment of the Fisheries Byelaws (Northern Ireland) 1997 2. The Fisheries Byelaws (Northern Ireland) 1997[3] shall be amended as provided in Byelaws 3 to 8. Interpretation 3. In Byelaw 2(1)-

(This note is not part of the Byelaws.) These Byelaws amend the Fisheries Byelaws (Northern Ireland) 1997 ("the principal Byelaws"). The principal changes are as follows: 1. Byelaws 3 and 7 introduce a concessionary season fishing rod licence for disabled anglers, women who have attained the age of 60 years and men who have attained the age of 65 years, and a juvenile season fishing rod licence for persons who have attained the age of 12 years but not 19 years. The concessionary season fishing rod licence replaces the disabled angler's season game and season coarse fishing rod licences introduced by the Fisheries (Amendment) Byelaws (Northern Ireland) 2001 (S.R. 2001 No. 433). The duty for the concessionary season fishing rod licence is £5·00 compared to £9·50 for the disabled angler's game season rod licence and £3·50 for the disabled angler's game coarse rod licence. 2. Byelaw 4 reduces from 18 years to 12 years, the age under which persons are exempted from the requirement to hold a fishing rod licence. 3. Byelaw 6 replaces the requirement for any person who takes a salmon in Lough Melvin during the period from 1st February to 31st May to return it immediately to the water without avoidable injury with a requirement to return to the water any salmon taken in excess of one on any day during that period. 4. Byelaw 7 also-
(b) replaces the one day game fishing rod licence with a three day game fishing rod licence. The licence duty for the three day rod licence is £5·00 compared to £4·00 for the one day rod licence; (c) replaces the eight day coarse fishing rod licence with a fourteen day coarse fishing rod licence. The licence duty is unchanged; (d) reduces the additional amount payable by the holder of a Foyle, Carlingford and Irish Lights Commission game season fishing rod and line licence from £17.50 to £1·00.
