The Mayor’s Fishing Competition took place during Bank Holiday Monday Morning. This follows a junior competition on Saturday. During my walk past I saw mostly small fish landed.
I was told there were plenty of Roach about.

On the subject of fish I was sent a picture by Michal taken at the weir a couple of weeks ago.
He asked me what it was and what it had died of. So I am throwing that one to the experts out there.
Could be anything. Sometimes they choke on a small fish called a Daddy Fuff that have a locking dorsal fin. They will also try and eat things much bigger than themselfs. Also some fishermen are not prepared for catching these and cannot get the hooks out
looks like a pike and it's probably dies of alcohol poisoning due to the amount chucked in the river by the local chavs!
