    Beavers, again.

    Great Ouse stocking

    The restocking process on the Great Ouse and Ivel has been going on for almost 20 years, with excess of 150,000 fish stocked. Natural reproduction will not return generally until pollution and abstraction are majorly reduced

    New record

    There has been a string of very large fish caught down there over the last few days. I've been spending a lot of time staying down there since June 2022, and see the Lea FB page featuring these big girls. You never see smaller fish featured, say in the 4-10 lb bracket.
