New Fish for Knypersley Res.

Dan · #1 (**permalink**) 05-02-2007, 03:38 PM

Just to let anyone who's interested know, British Waterways has stocked £10000 worth of roach, bream and rudd into Knype to replace the fish removed by cormorants during the recent work that took place.

fish went in in the majority 4-6'' but about 20% were near the pound bracket including some of the roach. I'll whip some of the photo's on the VBAS web site later this week.

no mate, just bream roach and rudd. Thought you'd retired from carping anyway???

any cormorant cages been put in?? Otherwise they will disapear again

No cages mate, but the problem wasn't naturel cormorant damage, because British Waterways dropped the level by 30ft plus to repair the dam. The cormorants then hit Knype while it was only a small percentage of its usual self. Now its full again, the cormorants struggle to take anything.

The cormorants might not cause much damage but while fishing the serp i did see a mink don't know how many of these are around but don't they get though a lot off small fish? , i have also spotted these on top pool as well,don't know if any body else has seem them anywhere?.
