Indeed alot of fish get moved around that area, quite a few from the gpo lake have ended up in the river or other ponds around the area.
I actually saw the seal it didnt head to far up stream, the birdlife certainly wasnt happy about its appearance.
Seen the cormorants take a lot of nice roach these past couple of months. sad to see.

Spot on mate. It's a fish eating mammal and shock horror it will eat fish! Angling needs to be set in the context of the natural world that's part of what we love isn't it?

I just read on the Internet they tranqualised it to re home it but it died under the anaesthetic. Bloody shame it couldn't be re- homed successfully.

The truth of the whole sorry episode was they missed it first shot, hit it second shot then it obviously bolted undewater never to surface again. The group had a diver on hand to rescue it but he couldn't find it unfortunately

Reading some anglers comments under news stories about this has been an utterly embarrassment.

Still a couple on the Yare and Thurne, absolutely desimating the pike stocks
