Creating Crucian Fisheries

[Chris Plumb]

Middle segment of vid features NAA's conversion of one of its waters to a crucian fishery (still work in progress)

A really interesting video, and great to hear positive action is being taken. As for NAA, certainly a change of strategy. Didn't they take out most of the crucians at one point and put them into Alders? And then they seemed to disappear? But I certainly hope it works well.

No - Alders was a separate stocking circa 2006. Suspect cormorants did for the crus in Warwicks. Here's a reminder of how it used to fish...http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/forums/index.php?/blog/82/entry-173-25-august/ and this was after Alders was stocked. A couple of years later and they were all but gone - and NONE showed up in the netting!

A bit ominous, then! Or maybe they have some anti cormorant measures in mind?

Yes they do - Marsh Farm manage to keep them off!

Chris,

 

"Creating Crucian Fisheries"

 

Are we trying to fool Mother Nature again or is this just a bad title?

I wish the clubs i'm a member of would do something similar, they've got loads fo waters suitable on in their portfolio. Unfortunatly they just keep stocking the usual carp etc !

You need your own private lake, with armed guards there 24/7 .

 

Otherwise there will always be some idiot, somewhere, that wants to "improve" the fishing.

And NAA has suffered from that with smaller carp being caught from one lake and returned to another (which was supposed to be carp free!). Warwicks is two padlocked locked gates away from any other NAA lake so that should discourage anybody from trying to 'improve' it.

I'm really hoping this works. I've never got into the crucian thing but a nice little tench lake not too far from me would be great, maybe rudd too.
