[Tyke]

A bloke i work with as rescued about 300 crucian carp and some goldfish from a pond being filled in in someones garden.

He as them in plastic swimming pools and plastic bins and urgently needs a home for them.

He lives near Grimsby/Scunthorpe.

I have not seen the fish myself and am passing on information as he asked me if i wanted any for my pond.

I think you need a license to transport fish to fishing ponds e.t.c

This offer is to someone with a large private garden pond that is not used for Angling purposes.

Nod, nod, wink ,wink eh?? You been away from your homeland too long kid!

Ive nothing to do with these fish and im just trying to find a home for them or they will be destroyed.

Can anyone enlighten me on the laws of moving fish from one private pond to another?

They are not going to be used for a fishing pond and the guy who as the fish wants to diliver them himself so he knows where they are going.

Im just waiting for a picture of them to download then i can pass on information to the guy who hopefully is going to give them a new home.

I'd love to give a home to these in my canal stretch, is that not an option Tyke?

[Tyke]

you need a license to transport fish to fishing ponds, river ,canals e.t.c so im sorry Anthony it cant be done without the proper license.

At the moment Netfull as offered a home to them and im just trying to sort out communications as im the middle man.

The owner of the fish is not a angler and hes recued them from a private pond that was filled in.

The owner doesent want them to be used for fishing anyway.

Yep mate I would have contacted Keith Fisher at the EA regarding licenses. Not to worry, I respect his wishes.
