"ya shooda waited!..." Thanks guys, yes quite often come across them in the rivers.. here's one from the Mersey River when I was fishing, it sat there until I took it's photo then moved off. It's really great to see them when fishing the rivers, I've had them swim between my legs on several occasions, I just remain motionless so they don't notice any movement. cheers Adrian Tom_Fishin, bjorn2fish, piratepom and 9 others 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BarneyB 1,939 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Right on the money as usual Adrian, he stocked the pond with them. Good eating fish. Meppstas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
