Re: CrayfishI've fished the rivers of Eastern England often, particularly for the big perch around Buckingham on the Great Ouse, and red crayfish are extremely common - so much so that I rarely fish there except in the coldest weather (which puts them off). They prefer the slow-flowing rivers of the eastern side of the watersheds which divide Eastern England from the west, and, until recent years, have been by and large, confined to the east because of the watersheds. However I believe, like the zander before them, that they are crossing to the west, possibly via canals, such as the Coventry. I have caught half a dozen in ponds linked to the Avon at Stratford, and they have been netted (I am told) from side brooks. I think its only a matter of time before they are a nuisance on our local rivers. We shall know when we see perch with eyes missing - they hunt for the crayfish and can come off second best. Crays are disgusting vermin ------ Not like zander of course |
