HELP OUR FISHERIES

IT’S that time of year when our fisheries face their biggest dangers as temperatures soar and oxygen levels can hit rock bottom. I’ve already seen several incidents on natural waterways where fast action by the Environment Agency was able to save thousands of fish.

But it’s the stillwaters which need your help now. Added to the summer weather is the fact that some waters are suffering from the killer KHV virus which can wipe out carp, and your favourite lake, very quickly.

Angling Times is urging all our readers to play their part in helping to stop the spread of this terrible disease - read our story on pages 8&9 to find out what you must do.
