I think that shows the importance of removing impoundments.

Looks like they dye marked their heads with a cross,maybe that's why they went on a pilgrimage.

Well it's 23 miles downstream that they've traveled... ducks end up a lot further downstream than that every morning... if they go to sleep whilst afloat

Fair do's to Rowley and district for not being upset about their Stock moving 23 miles and wishing everyone who catches them the best.. I must admit if my club was paying for them i would look at the stocking results before the further intoductions, they are planning.

I may be a simple chap but as they were small when stocked, were they not just moved downstream with the winter floods?

How would areas maintain recruitment if small fish got washed down with floods?
