The VBC Roerdal, in full Stichting Visstand Beheercommissie Roerdal, is a partnership between the four associations with fishing rights on the Roer: HSV de Rietvoorn Vlodrop, HSV St. Petrus Herkenbosch, HSV Posterholt-St. Odiliënberg and HSV de Rietvoorn Ool-Herten.

Two members of each association are delegated to the VBC Roerdal. The aim is the fisheries management of the Dutch Roer from Vlodrop to Roermond.

Since 1996, the VBC Roerdal has been working closely with the German managers of the Roer, who together with the German government (including biologists), Wasserverband Eifelrur and Kreis representatives form the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Lachs und Meerforelle 2020 (ARGE). The aim of this Arge is to reintroduce salmon and sea trout in the Rur/Roer by 2020 and to achieve a self-sustaining population in the long term. A lot of money and effort has been invested for this for years and a great deal of knowledge has already been built up in those years. Every year, around 100,000 small salmon are released in the side streams of the Roer from our own breeding with fertilized salmon eggs. Salmon eggs from salmon from the French Allier are currently used for the Roer, as these appear to have the most genetic similarities with the original Maas stock. Adult returnees, who are caught throughout the year in the fish pass at the ECI WKC, are transported to the Belgian nursery in Erezée and troweled in the autumn. Half of the fertilized eggs also go to our own nursery at Obermaubach in the German Eifel. Almost all returnees are from the Loire-Allier tribe.

In this way an attempt is made to build up our own Roerstam of salmon again.
