I was surprised by the use of that term, as that's a different fishery, I believe!

That confused me too - I guess the journalist didn't know there was actually somewhere called Angler's Paradise in Devon. In any case, it's yet another example of how thoughtless stocking can have a genuine negative impact on native wildlife. But we all know that, and the people who do it couldn't care less, so I don't suppose it'll end any time soon.

I think 'anglers paradise' and 'Anglers Paradise' are very close together, maybe 5 miles apart?
