The Salmon & Trout Association is pleased to announce that the Duke of Northumberland has agreed to become its new President.
The Duke of Northumberland takes over the Presidency from The Prince of Wales, following His Royal Highness’s succession to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, as the Association’s Patron.
The Duke has wide-ranging interests within angling and fisheries, including salmon, sea trout and wild brown trout water on his estates in the north of England, and stillwater trout fishing at Syon Park and Albury in the south of the country.
Tony Bird, Chairman of the Salmon & Trout Association, said:
“We are delighted that the Duke of Northumberland has agreed to accept our invitation to become the new President in this, the Association’s Centenary year. His many varied interests within fisheries make him a natural choice for the position, and we look forward to working closely him in all aspects of the Association’s work.”
