I first asked this question on here in 2002. ;) And struggled then to find any evidence that sweetcorn was harmful to grayling. I can accept that they may not be able to digest sweetcorn husks in the same way that we can't - but can't grayling get rid of them the same way we do???

 

Might make a good little PhD project for someone!

It makes me wonder if it does pass through grayling, how many times does the same piece get eaten by different fish? :yucky:

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

The very reason many believe that tigernuts are so sucsessfull for carp.

And thats my "non indicative opinion"!

Thanks for those links Worms.Im far from convinced that sweetcorn represents any "danger" to them though?

I suppose if they fed on a lot of sweetcorn it is possible that the indigestible cellulose 'shells' could block the alimentary canal...........then again, they also seem to survive almost entirely on caddis larvae on one stretch that I fish so one could worry about the same indigestible cellulose matter that some of the caddis use for their cases!

 

I've never heard of, or seen a dead grayling stuffed with sweetcorn.

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!

I bet it's both tastier and better looking than carp stuffed with tiger-nuts :rolleyes:

A BBSRC funded PhD is around 13k a year TAX FREE!!!! More if you live in London and even more if you get a company to fund you!

Blimey, that's gone up a bit since I last considered the idea!
