Chris Plumb 478 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Middle segment of vid features NAA's conversion of one of its waters to a crucian fishery (still work in progress) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAWOzJ6SF-0 C. 1 "Study to be quiet." ><((º> My Blog Link to post Share on other sites
The Flying Tench 43 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 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. john clarke Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Plumb 478 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 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! C. "Study to be quiet." ><((º> My Blog Link to post Share on other sites
The Flying Tench 43 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 A bit ominous, then! Or maybe they have some anti cormorant measures in mind? john clarke Link to post Share on other sites

Tigger 708 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 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 ! Link to post Share on other sites

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. Edited August 23, 2015 by Vagabond 1 RNLI Governor World species 471 : UK species 105 : English species 95 .

Rusty 284 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) 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. 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. 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.
