Evening All,

Has anyone heard anything about Star Lane in Essex suffering a big fish kill?

In reply to Post #1
Turns out there was a kill. They lost most of their fish last year, very little left from what I've heard now. Very sad indeed

What caused this terrible situation,anyone know..?

Sean Leverett mentions it in the Nash podcast. Was an oxygen crash I think?

Edit:
Don't think this is the first time this has happened actually. I think a few years back some sewage got into a brook that ran into the lake? This MIGHT have been what Sean mentioned.
As I have never fished the lake I'm just going by what I had heard/read.

Oxygen crash yes. Happened last summer July/Aug time. They already had pumps going but the lake lost a lot of water from a leak so was several foot lower which didn't help.

I think they lost over 40 carp and there wasn't loads in there so not exactly sure what if any is left. A terrible shame. Some carp over 50 years old in there now gone
