River Dane...Pollution strikes

[chris mc]

Does anyone have any details of how disasters the pollution on the Dane is?Or how the E.A plan on re-stocking the river?if it's had any nock on effects to any of it's tributes?All I've hared is Everything is dead for at least half a mile from the River Croco.

Sounds a bit grim Chris, whereabouts is the Croco?

and where did you hear about this?

 

My club have several miles of bank and there's nowt on their website about any pollution.

Hared about it on the Lym web sight and the river Croco runs into it at Croxton Lane.Hope fully the rain we have had will keep the pollution from traveling up stream.

It was as bad as people were saying. I was at Croxton last monday. It was pretty grim.

Croxton has an excellent head of big barbel and on downstream along the canal which will be at risk.. The river is not that wide thereabouts and could easily get swamped by pollution.

I think the stretch you're talking about (Middlewich Anglers)is a couple of hundred yards upstream of where the Croco enters (Winsford Anglers), so it should be safe.
