I spent a pleasant day at the pond today managing to catch 2 carp and 4 tench , and i am pleased to say all the fish were in great condition. No signs of any more carp dying thankfully, and one of the council guys going around picking up litter too.There were still a few carp in spawning mode splashing around in the pads.

URGENT MESSAGE - DEAD CARP

One of our members has reported finding 3 large dead Carp at the pond today - see below

Hi Neil

Further to our phone conversation:

To recap, Phil contacted me to report the death of 3 carp, a mirror 23lb, a badly decomposed common about the same and a common 9lb. (picture attached of 2 of the fish, I had to dump the decomposing one due to the smell) I contacted the EA on 0800807060 they gave me the incident number 1004835.

They said they were unlikely to attend the pond to take water samples as there was no sign of pollution and it was only a small number of fish involved. Someone is going to get back to me regarding disposal of the carcasses.

Walking round the pond, we collected a bin liner full of rubbish and noted several fresh remains of fires,

Will let you know of any further developments,

If anybody finds more dead fish can you please let me know - if you find large numbers (more than 10) can you please ring the Environment agency on 0800807060 and report immediately.

 

It also appears that our rogue members are still persisting in lighting fires and leaving lots of litter on the bank.  Can anyone tell me in confidence who these people are so we can kick these idiots out of the club.

again had a lot of people asking about membership and how to apply, i've not given out any details but what is the best contact detail to give out, Neil do you have  or can set up an email account just for people to contact, an oline one then you do not get hassle in your normal mail, just a thought.
i tell them there is a waiting list but does not seem to put off people.
