September 2003 Bream Stocking
Following agreement at the April 2003 Members meeting it was agreed that stocks of Bream and/or tench would be obtained to develop the pleasure angling side of the Fishery. In September 2003, 39 Bream averaging 7lb each (5-9lb range) were purchased and stocked into the Bailey Bridge Pit. These fish were uncaught fish having been removed from a water supply reservoir in the Trent Valley. Pictures below indicate two sample fish and the stocking. These fish were stored in a cage for a few days prior to shipping so their fins got a bit damaged, but within a few weeks they should heal up.
