An angler who posed proudly on Facebook with a giant salmon he caught has been handed a fine of nearly £1,000.

Rolands Bartkevics, 29, caught the big fish in a river close to his home in Meifod, in Powys and has now been ordered to pay a fine of £984 at Welshpool Magistrates Court.
 

Fellow anglers who spotted his post on social media then reported Bartkevics for unlicensed fishing after he was spotted with his rod on a beauty spot waterway where salmon are protected.

Any salmon caught on the 19-mile long River Banwy in Powys, Mid Wales, must be released back into the water due to dwindling stocks.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and officers from Dyfed-Powys Police searched Bartkevics home and found evidence of illegal salmon handling.
