I cant believe that the club has not put any form of response on here, surely we need to know what if any stock has been removed and if it has been removed then surely something needs doing about it and the individuals concerned, no response from the club is only leading to massive negative speculation in numerous fishing forums and this inturn surely is detrimental to the water.

I have just joined the club and was at the no1 knotford yesterday and as there was no padlock on the leeds knotford had a quick look round.It looks a great water and I wondered what fish does it hold apart from carp?

Did these fish get removed then as am guessing the answer was yes with the lack of response?

Just reading some old posts regarding Knotord got me looking through some of our records and answer a few questions, hope its of interest. The kill mentioned in other Thread happened Jan/ April 1999, it was not just fish but reports by local ornithologist suggested several dead gulls and ducks plus mice and frogs, Dr Bruno Broughton visited and wrote a full report May 1999, it was not conclusive but mentioned the discharge pipe, the carp population becoming too large, unshed eggs, and a viral infection, he also stated that though the EA were initially reluctant to test the water, samples had been taken and "verbally" confirmed they were not contaminated ! Strange that because both me and Steve Raper spent days that spring clearing dead fish of all species, we were not involved with Leeds officials at that time but they were there too and we all agreed the water was dead. Got some more info here that's interesting reading.

Having had a good look at the stocking list I think the timing and numbers speak for themselves, unfortunately health checks at that time were not as advanced as they are now and the spring 1999 stocking would just not be allowed to happen.
