yep. was one of the reason I pulled off and went over to st ives. He put around 25 into all the lakes, fen ferry and swavesey! didn't need to as they have the reserves to fish and move fish over during the summer when RSPB allow it. there all still in ferry if you can look past the fact theres 25 young wrong un mouths in the way

From what Gary told me, Fen just got the 5. 1 of them being 36lb spawned out.

Part of an email.from him

"we stocked fish to 36 (spawned out) from the reserves a couple of years back."

Please don't take it I'm being argumentative

They have been stocking fish from the reserves for years mate. Limited number of member are allowed to fish the reserves around july - oct each year. any fish caught are then moved to fen and ferry, more so ferry.

Gary stocked all three lakes with croat stockies early this year think it was January, 25 in each all high singles / low doubles. hence the uproar on social media about it...

Cannot understand why he would do that, he could source beautiful scaley fish from the VS fisheries EASILY

It baffled everyone, they didn't even need to buy any from anywhere. They had the wild reserves on owned by the rspb on the same complex to move fish from. True wild English carp, some of the best around!
