EA Restocking The Old River

The EA have come up trumps for us yet again.
In recent times, they have provided us with invaluable fisheries management information, a netting, a fish transfer of 10,000 roach from Kingfisher to Drinkwater Park, restocking of barbel, chub, roach and dace into the Irwell, a couple of weeks ago they restocked 1000 skimmers from a fish rescue operation into the Old River, and today they came good with their promise of yet more fish to help us restore the Old River to its former glory.

Many thanks to Andy, Paul and Ian (patron Saint of fishermen in Salford).

1000 skimmers and 1000 tench - restocked this lunchtime - hopefully will grow on, thrive and reproduce.

Not only did the EA bring fish for Salford - they had another trailer full to help restock Bury Lido - a real commitment to angling in Greater Manchester and a visual return on our Licence Fee.
