Is this fishing in a Swimming Pool?

Other then Phone, has anyone else seen this posted under Non-Commercial/Angling Club Website Promotion.

Lake 1 sounds like an Asian fishery but when put with Lake 2?

 

Is this person really claiming to have fished this place in Lancashire? Is it a 10 acre Indoor Swimming Pool, next to an 8 acre gravel pit?

 

What do you think?

Is this person loco?

 

 

And like Phone, I would love to hear what Worms and Gozzer would think of this fishery in the heart of Lancashire

 

All,

 

GEEZE !!

 

Where's Worms?

Considered Size of landing nets are 42"+

 

If Arapima are caught patrolling staff will unhook for you.

 

Very good advice, never go fishing for Arapaima with out at least a 42" net

think most people on here know my stance on general fisheries but that one just takes the ****

Errrrrm ... have I missed something, or is the implication here that this place actually exists outside of the imagination of the OP?

[Latimeria]

Think this one just exists inside someone's mind.

Surely, it's got to be a wind-up! Someone should try the phone number - I'd do it now, but it's a bit late.

I was tempted but thought it would not be the best thing to do as said angler is clearly bonkers. Also shows a lack of knowledge about predators. Even in fantasy land all those predators need feeding.

There's a large lake there used for diving lessons, but it's not covered.

It must be a wind up, if not the EA will have a few questions to answer.

Dales,

 

You said, "all those predators need feeding". It is an impossible combination of fishes in one water (I think?) Tank fishkeepers may be able to better answer that question.

When no one else commented I realized what a "dope" I probably was. I think Gozzer hit it on the head. It has to be a wind-up.

Still, it would be worth someone "checking out" and reporting. Not reporting to AN but to the EA.

Yes, a wind up. But maybe in there mind they did fish it

 

I have fished a number of exotic commercial waters in the far east and most if they had these fish they only had small numbers of them. The price of Arapaima and Arowana is very high and both are very delicate. Most Arowana do not survive C&R and even the ticket prices quoted would not make them a viable stock fish. Some fisheries might stock singles figures, maybe less then 5 so they can claim to have them. You can certainly order 2000 Bari from a fish farm in the far east but most are hard to get hold of in numbers and expensive. What is odd is that the fish list is not even a standard far east commercial mix of Carps and Striped and Mekong Cats with a few exotics and rare fish. It's just a bonkers list or a bow anglers wet dream.
