Second Stocking

 


This was the scene at the carpark on Tuesday. The road in from Kirkby Moor was blocked with drifts up to 2 metres deep. This part was only just passable. The snow had frozen and with the temperatures not rising much can't see it disappearing quickly.




A sample of the fish. As you can see the tagged fish have gone in. This year the colour is green and 40 fish were introduced at an average weight of 2.9 pound, so look out for some corkers. Please remember to record the colour of the tag if you catch one of these - last year the colour was green. As per last blog one of these has turned up already.


As you can see the tarn was partially frozen.
The water was only just above freezing, but the fish went in OK.
Don't think the conditions will improve much in the near future.
Really cold on the bingies!!
