Yes, I remember them attacking my float !! Went a month ago and didn`t see one. Seem to have disappeared and re appeared. Has anyone seen this quantity of fry else where ?? I haven`t.
Another group of fish which hasn`t been mentioned on here was the appearance of a load about 10 inches long. This was last July/August (may have been the year before, I haven`t got my diary at the moment). Went at the end of August and caught 42 fish, 35 as mentioned, 7 bigger ones, at the time they were about 7lb. All the same size, appeared to be straight from a fish farm, all fin perfect and easy to catch, in fact a nuisance !! Fished floating bread to get away from them. Others I have seen at the pool have mentioned these. Went again a few weeks later and had just 1 of these plus a few bigger ones. Phoned BAA for info on these. No useful comments. - "You know as much as me" "You know the pools have been drained" "They are still there, you aren`t catching them as it`s colder" (I was in just a shirt it was that warm).
So who put them in and who took them out ?? Been suggested by one I spoke to they had been stocked into the wrong pool and later reclaimed. Same question for the re appearing fry.
Any ideas on the disappearing / re appearing fish. Be interesting to see if the fry remain here and start getting caught when a bit bigger !!
Still don`t believe in the flood theory, nor the otter theory !!
