Posted below is a message received from BAA member Graham Sheldon.
Visited the Nordley pools, Thursday 14th February 2019…..caught a mirror carp that had bite marks all over the fish, and half his back tail missing.
Further bad news,... late on in the afternoon I spotted two Otters.
I realise there is not much we can do about it,….the Nordley complex of six pools is impossible to keep safe, and secure.
Sadly I think we are going to lose a lot of fish.
Would it be possible to inform the members of the problem, and ask them to keep you up to date about sightings of Otters and damage to fish caught.
I hope this info will be of use, and I will keep my fingers crossed that there is no more damage to the fish stock.
Thank you to everyone in the office for all the hard work you do on behalf of the members.
Best Wishes,...Graham Sheldon.

Re: Otters at Nordley
Agree that the outlook is grim. There is very little cover for the fish, and from my experience midweek there are not many anglers about. Perfect conditions for otters to do what they do.

Re: Otters at Nordley
Can they be trapped and transferred somewhere else?I’m not sure of the law.How the hellhave they got that far up from the Severn?Nordley is a fair distance from the river even if they worked their way up through the Brooks and streams.

Re: Otters at Nordley
To answer your question Stew . Yes they can be trapped and moved . You will need a licence to do it . Give the EA a call . You may have to think about fencing it of . So no other Otters turn up in the future .

Re: Otters at Nordley
The size of the whole Nordley complex would be nightmare to try and fence off not to mention the cost.Very difficult situation.
