I fish the valley a fair few exits down the M25, but it’s very apparent from the road the extent of the mess they are making with this poxy thing. I’ve got nothing but condolence for the guys who are caught up in it, it’s a disgrace.

I saw scotty larmans videos yesterday. Such a shame. I’d be absolutely gutted if that was one of my waters. Feel really bad for the guys who love the place.

There is a big effort to move the fish from pit 1 to pit 2.

Shocking down there about 2 inches a day coming out now also some of those bars not sure how I ever managed to catch in there!

Same is happening to aldenham reservoir
The owners say the dam is damaged but they only bought it to turn it into houses

Reminds me of Alder on the GLL complex before it was drained and bars reduced……..

Yeah I saw it. Those bars and humps are mental. Really shows why the classic Elstow tactics worked so well.

Agree though, v sad too.
