ISFC Rules for Specimen Fish Claimants

6. Sending fish to the Committee

Please

1. Notify the Committee when a fish is being sent in for identification:
   Telephone 01-884 2600; Fax: 01-836 0060. E-mail: info@cfb.ie

2. Do not forward fish to the Committee before Bank Holidays or weekends; (keep in a cold store or preferably frozen if fish cannot be delivered quickly on or before Friday afternoon).

3. Please attach a label to each fish forwarded for identification giving the captor’s name and address, date and place of capture and the weight of the fish.

   Please note: All club and personal scales MUST be certified annually by an independent agency. Weighing scales must be covered by a Certificate of Accuracy at the time of weighing. They cannot be certified in retrospect, i.e. after the fish has been weighed.

4. Fish should not be sent in polythene bags or wrapped in aluminium foil as this causes very rapid decomposition. They should be wrapped in greaseproof paper and then in newspaper and brown paper.

*IMPORTANT – Completed claim forms should be sent to:

Irish Specimen Fish Committee, c/o CFB, Swords Business Campus, Swords, Co. Dublin, Rep. of Ireland (Tel: 00-353-1-8842600) before 30th November each year.

Where required for identification purposes (see Rule 4) fish should be sent to the same address.
