Beaver issue,...well I'll send some pics..otter problem mk 2 in the making,cept they dont kill the fish,..its the damage I have already seen..when or if they become protected,that's when our troubles will begin..three dams,in a one mile stretch,it should be discussed in the angling community..!
Three leads on,three leads spare,if you dont use it dont take it,remember lol

Interested to know, what are the particular issues that a beaver population poses to carp?

As far as I know mate,none what so ever..
It's the damage that they do ,and possible legislation surrounding moving them on,and the dams they build..
For a bad example...if they build a dam in a river,stream and it then changes the watercourses,floods the surrounding land,maybe bogging out the perimeter of a lake which is stream fed,which rendered the otter fencing useless,or heavy rain fall,making river etc back up,lots of damage potentials come from that..lots of variables..
So..last year found two people,on private land ,one of which huge influence,in rewilding beaver..
I asked them what they would do if the beaver damaged upstream ,and caused the lake to also be damaged,no answer,only we'll build a tunnel,problem is ,they not meant to be in our land,and we dont want,or ask for beaver..
I sent Sam a lot of pictures of the damage they do..
It was out of order for them to be on this private land anyway,very cheeky..but that's my perception of rewilders,they do what they want..

Ive had this discussion a year or so ago. Beavers...."yea there great" and they are. I love em but.......
Once there protected, thats it. We, as anglers will see an impact on the enviroment quite quickly. They change the flow of rivers so down stream will be impacted negatively. As Wandle states, up stream, as the water backs up, that will seriously change the environment from flooding.
Its not just that impact. If they do receive protected status, we will then be stopped from accessing areas of river and as there protected, we wont be able to manage the dams they create. Remember, they dont just build one dam, they continually do so, taking over quite large areas of river, continually damming and we wont be able to access the area or intervene in their natural actions - the damming.
Beavers WILL change the nature of your area. Its what they do. Look at the over release of Otter's. A natural rise in numbers is more than manageable and sustainable. Mass release, well, we have all seen that impact.
Now think of Beavers, these rewilders will be releasing / re-location beaver far and wide......and weve seen what happens when these type of people are involved. They go way over the top, no consideration to anyone other than their own warped sense of re-colonization.
All these dammed river areas, creating small 'lakes' do you think the fish population will survive, trapped in smaller bodies of water when ol Lutra arrives.
We as Humans shouldnt tamper in nature, where the over all, long term impact of these releases arent fully understood. Blinkered logic, focusing on one goal without consideration to the whole environmental impact can only be a negative outcome.

Breeding pair released this month in Cornwall.
The effect they have on rivers does not impact us so much as coarse anglers, but salmon and sea trout anglers will be greatly affected by the destruction of wodlands, the building of dams and the accumulation of silt behind them. New small localised flood plains will be created and once dry land will become a mud bath.
Next it will be wolves followed by black sodding bear!
Not heard the podcast as I am not au fait with modern stuff like smart phones and apps!
(if anone can PM me a link that will play on my steam-driven PC I'd be grateful.)
I was a fervent user of Jay's baits back in the day and was proud to be asked by him to contribute to two or three of his books. What Jay don't know about bait and attraction ain't worth knowing. It's no coincidence that he worked as a product development guy at Nash for a few years.
We alkso share a love of the old Le Queroy mirror known as Triad. My missus caught it at 41lb in 2005-ish (first time over forty) and then she went up to the small lake where she was an infrequent visitor to the bank. Then Jay caught it at 51lb+ (IIRC). The great carp then becamse my obsession and I finally caught up with her at 65lb 4oz in 2017.

One of my old UK mates put me onto this podcast recently, agree it is a different and extremely interesting opportunity to explore Bait and some other topics in depth (e.g Moon Phases). Which has been sadly lacking in other carp podcast agendas recently.
Slowly working through your back catalogue, it's great stuff, Good luck with it, lads.
Looking forward to some ‘dueling expert' discussion on the value of Single Aminos in coming episodes, if you can set that up😁😁😁

Kudos to your post,fantastic..
Couldn't have put it better myself..
Rewilders,like as said..play god,they do what they want..get what they want and care not one jot about the bigger picture..
I have met them,dealt with them,and it's the same mindset..
Do not trust them with there clever words,graphs etc,they all have their own private agenda,and it does not include anglers..
NB,like Ken mentioned,two released already,this info let go in mainstream media,nothing said about the other beavers,in the Tamar valley,...same thing,as the otter situation,it has many parallels,..
On a different genre,I have been fishing twice,and been very close to big cats..puma,or panther..I'm not that clued up....yet...!!...
Last year,and around 20 years ago,both on moorland,...and one my wife saw ,now I'm thinking about it...
