It's like the fish know there's a lockdown on my syndicate.
Been down a few times recently and I've never seen so many fish on one of the lakes.
Last year they were hard to find and even harder to catch. Walked round Good Friday and found fish in every swim.
As our lake(s) are fenced we are doing OK. No signs of entry although we do have a mink roaming between the two (caught on camera). No fish losses this Winter at all.

The lads who own my local lake have been putting in copious amounts of bait during all this so we are hoping that when we can eventually get back on the bank they will have put on some good weight without all the pressure.

One of the FB groups I am on was saying that a couple of waters have been affected by people coming on overnight and poaching carp to eat.

There has been reports of people electro netting waters in Cheshire to steal fish since the lockdown started.
I think it will benefit the fish greatly to be left alone for a few months. And I suspect they will turn onto bait faster when it start going back in regularly. I can imagine a linear the bottom on B1 and B2 will be getting a good cleaning over the next coupe of week by the fish actually having to go and look for some bait.

I own a very nice length of river at the bottom of the fields. Not being able to travel to fish for carp has caused me to look closer at the river. Had some lovely wild trout on the fly rod and probably enjoying my fishing even more. Every cloud.
