The Presentation for the Bemersyde Trophies took place at Bemersyde House on Thursday 5th April 2018 hosted by Lady Haig. The awards are given out each season for the best fish caught on the Tweed. The winners are decided by a panel of judges who had earlier decided that for the 2017 season the Senior winner is John Rogers, with Debbie Harris (aged 10) as the Junior winner after catching her first ever Salmon.
