This one came from a lake/ reservoir called squabmore down near buddleih salterton, was great place not big fish but real beautys we got some strange looks from people explaining that all the trout had been lost and we were wasting our time?

Some contractors I have subbed work from in the past have been f***ing useless, keep you waiting round for matirals so you not earning. Then when you hit them with an invoice you get " when I get payed you will be paid" which in my book is wrong so they deserve to be stocked up

Not that one mate, it came from "the army lake" as Chris Ball called it in his book king carp waters, where that exact fish is pictured caught in the 70s. I'm starring into a box here that is full carp pictures going back some 30+ years. Dead right though quality before quantity ?

Original leney stocking from 1957 just over 30lbs in weight, took 2 years before I got the bite from this one. Over 60 years old at time of capture Proper carp and remains my best fish to date.

Thames the same mate, used to see a few bigguns at the lock gates when working boats. Caught a few, mate had a koi around twenty from teddy lock. The Thames gets stocked most years when in flood lol

I found you need to spend a lot of time at the water with a pocket or two of bait, rather than a barrow full of gear. Find em feed em then work out the angle of the dangle. I had good results doing this sometimes an hour's fishing would give me a 60 + year old leney of close to 30 pounds. This was a low stocked public lake of just over 50 acres. I recently went to a commercial fishery while waiting for this year's tickets, and cought nothing lol. I watched the end of my rods getting twanged about at morning bite time,and came to the conclusion that I was being done rig

Donald Leny stocked redmire along with a lot of well known waters back in the 50s. He kept a stocking record book of every transaction he made, including every water. Think he gave to Chris Yates and now I believe Chris Ball has it. Many carp anglers consider this book the holy grail of carp angling.

I did seriously think that a letter to every household was really nessasary. Think of the amount of hands that letter will pass through with the odd cough and sneeze along the way. Most old folk listen to radio for the latest info by the time the letter gets through the letter box everyone will know exactly what's written in the letter, such is the media coverage of this covid.

I hope the rinky dinks get some proper PPE to the NHS asap. Essential that they are fully protected against this covid they are now saying 2 to 4 weeks to peak. Let's hope they get the correct kit to our frontline NHS.

Also if it can survive on surfaces for 48hrs or longer then surely it can survive in the air
