quote from tinca tenchfishers book

jim gibbonson quotes :: in waters that hold reasonable head tench an very few carp , tench can hold there own . in waters were reverse applies , chances are tench population will decline to the point it disappears .
yes there are a few waters at present , seem to offer good fishing for both species . but those waters I believe are in transmission . within a tench generation or two , I predict the tench will just become a memory .
iv encountered a number off waters were anglers say , this used to be a good tench water , but we just don't see them any more .
you can have a good carp water with few tench . or a good tench water with few carp .

but you cant have good for both species ,because tench an carp they both compete for food supplies , spawning grounds , an nursery areas .
an when ever carp an tench are in competition there only be one winner : THE CARP !!!!!!!!!!!

Re: would like see baa promote specimen tench waters

don't need night fish for tench . I agree tench will feed on the hottest off days , I say the hotter the better in fact 2 years ago I caught 2 double figure tench from gravel pit , burton on trent area in exactly these heat wave conditions .
as for night fishing for tench when I tried it had poor results , day better into dusk .
