I used to have 3 pike in here years ago but they got a bit too predatory. I put sticklebacks in first, then the perch to eat the stickleback then the pike to eat the perch. None of it really worked....
@pondguru Try putting a few Trout in, they are good to control the Fry and when you fancy a bit of Trout they are there to be harvested ;-) Youve got a great pond/set up there m8 its what dreams are made of. Graham.
Unfortunately since its full of carp, they stir up the clay and make it no good for trout. I'm hoping that a local fishery opens up and I can drain my pond then remove all the carp to give them, then get back to having trout in there.
Hi, I'm really curious on taking my little brother crayfishing. Where do you go to, I know about the EA licencing and stuff, but I am not sure where to apply for the licence for? I have heard about River Tees in Barnard Castle, but is there anywhere else in Durham or Newcastle? Thanks
I have no idea where to get a licence from, man. I just use a crayfish trap to trap perch in my own pond.
As far as I know, there are no crayfish in the nort east rivers - maybe the tees but thats a long way from me so I never hear much about that one.
There are supposedly crayfish in the lower derwent and lower tyne but there's been no hard proof of that - a seagull spewed up a signal crayfish at the mouth of the Derwent but that could have come from 100 miles away....
Ssshhhh, Perch are a great Pike bait, just between you and me pondguru m8 ;) Graham.

There are thousands of perch in there and once one gets in, the rest of the shoal sometimes follows.

Seems to me like a minnow trap, you don't need any bait, just a minnow stuck in there and others follow.

They must be shoaling at the minute as we normally get them in ones and twos. One in the trp is a bit of a magnet for others, just like minnows.
