The gravel pits were man made along with many reservoirs and as you say stocked with an invasive non indigenous species. Many of the naturally formed lakes have been overstocked to the detriment of other species and the lake itself.

The lack of beaver on the bank is one of the only negatives about fishing. Send them my way if you're not fussed, the more virile the better.

looking at the pro "rewilding" groups,, why do a high percentage of them and their followers have dayglow green hair and seem confused about which toilet they should use?
There's a reserve up Scotland Lane,just outside Haslemere, Surrey.

in europe they have the space for wolves to occupy a range that suits them, which means when they hunt in a chosen area they are a great distance from the other areas. this results in minimum sightings and disturbance overall.
Wolf packs usually hunt within a territory, which can range from 50 square miles (129 square kilometers) to over a 1,000 square miles (2,590 square kilometers).
this small island is totally unsuitable to wolves and many other species,
to be honest, there isn't room for that which is already present, indigenous or introduced.
in a few more decades it will be an expanse of concrete and tarmac, cities will join with no countryside between them,, go fishing,, often,, while its still possible.
a few cocos hoping to release wolves into the uk are the least of the worries for any future.

No hoping about it, it's happened on a very small scale already.
