Fished Stacklands today and had a pretty successful visit - whilst sat on one of the concrete plinths, what appeared to be a fairly large salmon (definitely well into double figures) decided to cruise alongside me. What made it weird was that body appeared to be completely covered in lightish patches, almost like camouflage, Can anyone shed any light on this?

Re: Mystery fish
probably a kelt, a spawned out salmon. I saw one last week in the margins on the middle Severn, although not as big as the one you saw.

Re: Mystery fish
I've seen that fish unless there's more than one like it. It seemed to me to look like an old fish with scar damage.
Good size fish though that would have filled a few tins lol

Re: Mystery fish
Wels Catfish? - have seen one of these myself not on a BAA water - not saying where though. Mottled with creams and black markings and swimming high up in water. Obviously didn't look anything like a Salmon though!

Re: Mystery fish
spawned/spent salmon
get patches of fungus like stuff on them and are usually seen in the margins/slow water

Re: Mystery fish
Probably fungus infection, there wouldn`t be any kelts around at the time of year posted, you see them after spawning, up to early April, if "well mended" they are again bright silver but slim. They have also started feeding again.
