More sad news I’m afraid, this time from Silvermere in Surrey. The much sought after Polo has passed on, along with one other carp.

Sad news this time there has been a large fish kill at Frimly Pit 2. The losses are thought to have been due to deoxygenation as a result of ice. Fish of all species including roach, bream and carp have fallen foul of the terrible weather conditions. I myself lost two prized Koi Carp that have been with be for at least 20 years due to this global warming.
