Any circumstance in which someone sees you and immediately stuffs a salmon under their cuff is suspicious.
Brother used a “poachers pocket” once to carry a salmon. The coat never smelt ok after that. I think it’s misnamed. People don’t talk about hiding prawns in the curtains when you’re evicted from a rental for no reason.
That said, I did lambing in a donkey jacket and it smelt fucking wonderful for a decade afterward. All that lanolin. Mind you, sheep looked at me kind of funny.
Weirdly misleading title.
>…Samuel admitted under caution both knowing it was illegal to keep salmon caught in Welsh rivers, and about a ban on using treble hooks on spinning baits and barbed hooks on migratory fish like salmon and sea trout.
He tried to hide an *illegally caught* fish up his sleeve. Fear not, your general salmon-in-sleeve rights are unaffected.
OK, but why is that glaringly obvious fish in the pictured circled in angry red as though it could possibly be missed?

I always wondered what this sign means:

I guess it means “no handling salmon under suspicious circumstances”, and is just reminding you of the law.
(For you city types, that sign is found all over the countryside next to almost any body of water, and I never quite understood what all the symbols mean)
