Yes, I tend to think that the cycle of life is continuing happily (unless there are a plethora of otters/cormorants) in most rivers. Paul Boote hit the nail on
the head with his 'nursery' story - the same thing takes place in Northern rivers, Paul.
Cheers, Rich |

Hi all the Royalty has seen a lot of fish in the 3lb to 5lb bracket this season yet for the last couple of years they have been 1lbers or the top end of the
scale ,bodes well for the future!

Last year on the section of river I was fishing a lot of 2lb fish where coming out again only in certain areas.
It's funny how we don't sell guns but Toronto bangs! |

Hello Anne,welcome.
When i fished Adams Mill, 7/8 years ago, the smaller fish were there in the range you specify. I never caught them but I saw them landed, my pb from that stretch was 12ozs!!! Those fish were no doubt waiting in the wings, for the big girls to move on to a better place. Perhaps they are those 15lbers now. |

I think the same thing happens with Tench. Fished Campbells lake in Crawley for 25 years and caught lots of Tench but never a small one. Never saw a small one
caught. Worried me for a while, then it didn't. Don't know why. Like the idea of nursery areas. Seems to happen on big waters where there are areas out
of reasonable casting range. Does not explain Barbel though. Have not been much help. Back to my home brew.
Sorry for butting in Shaun |
