  • Having fished the Jackson, I can see that Didymo is a problem below Gathright Dam. People may think it is innocuous but on slower stretches of water it will deplete the river of oxygen and harm invertebrate life - and hence fish. They didn't say it but it's call it eutrophication. I haven't seen signs of it above Moomaw. Every angler should follow the advice and make sure they don't transfer it. You have some wonderul rivers (as someone from the UK) - so hope people listen and be aware.

  • this stuff is great, really
