Looks like this drought is really having an impact

Well if folk are quick enough I guess there'll be a few local waters get a surprise top up of prime breeding stock almost overnight

One way of looking at it

 

I see it's due to drought quite heavily tomorrow, so the chance may well arise again.

"and carp"

 

I've seen the odd one further up but its disapointing that the EA are putting them back into the river.

Elton,

 

Interesting comparison

 

BBC says, "A lorry with an oxygenated tank was used to take the rescued fish back to the river"

 

Bow Fishing Journal (my bible) says, "bow shooters enjoy thousands of carp landlocked in the Hudson River Flood plane after April floods. (video NOT available even if you request it).
