Toxic spill kills fish

[Dick Dastardly]

The river really seemed to be comming along.Amongst the quality roach I caught there were hundreds of small chublets.A few seasons would have hopefully seen these growing and giving good sport.Cant replace stuff like that overnight Im afraid.

 

And is anyone really shocked that the Water Authority is at fault? If so you really do need to take a look at the ACA's site-

When I first starting going fishing in my early teens (late 80s, early 90s) it was often to the Wandle in Beddington and there was a healthy head of roach, chub and even trout in there. Wasn't the best fishing but a great spot to go to cut your teeth. I am gutted for all of the people who've put in solid work over the years to clean the river up and to restock it in an attempt to restore this historic river. I'm angry that it has happened and only hope that severe penalties will be meted out. Tragic.

Well done to Mark and the team at the ACA, Mark recently came to our branch of the PAC (region 21/89 Teesside Darington Durham) and gave a talk on the work of the ACA and made a few converts to the membership of the organisation.

 

I think the direction they are going in now with the leadership from Mark and his fellow workers leads me to believe that the tide is starting to turn in our (anglers) favour

 

Thanks for the apperance Mark and we shall spread the good word

You've got to wonder if he changed his name by deedpoll.

 

He should add a couple of middle names; Liam David would do.
