Anyone seen the video of it being emptied........great to see the underwater topography but sad to see it's being drained.......

Yeah I saw it. Those bars and humps are mental. Really shows why the classic Elstow tactics worked so well.

Agree though, v sad too.

Reminds me of Alder on the GLL complex before it was drained and bars reduced........

Is this now please? Where's the fish gone?

In reply to Post #9
There is a big effort to move the fish from pit 1 to pit 2.

Shocking down there about 2 inches a day coming out now also some of those bars not sure how I ever managed to catch in there!

Can't seem to get the link working. Face ache saying video no longer available.
Any chance of trying another one, would be very interested to see the bars etc.

Thanks

I have a video and am on my way down there now to fish if you PM me your number I will send it to you I have made a few over the months I am going to put together in a few weeks

I saw scotty larmans videos yesterday. Such a shame. I'd be absolutely gutted if that was one of my waters. Feel really bad for the guys who love the place.

I fish the valley a fair few exits down the M25, but it's very apparent from the road the extent of the mess they are making with this poxy thing. I've got nothing but condolence for the guys who are caught up in it, it's a disgrace.
