Salford Quays KHV UPDATE

IMPORTANT UPDATE – THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF KHV AT SALFORD QUAYS – BUT PLEASE CONTINUE TO BE VIGILANT AND REPORT ANY FISH WHICH YOU MIGHT CONSIDER TO BE IN DISTRESS

Four club members have walked the entire circumference of the Quays this morning (two groups of two). Conditions were perfect for fish spotting.

There are no signs of any fish in distress – there was one small carp dead floating in the corner of Ontario Basin – it had damage and maggots in its gills – highly likely that this fish was the one that was reported to be in distress yesterday..

So – our KHV scare is now hopefully over – please be extra vigilant so that we can respond immediately if there are mulitple fish deaths.

We have no regrets about raising this issue – better to be a PANIC FANNY and take the safety first option – than to ignore issues and hope they go away on their own..

As ever – being vigilant and reporting things is our best defence against disease – the most important way to prevent the transfer of disease is to dry out your nets and tackle between fishing trips !!

 The club committee would like to thank the angler who reported this fish in the first place – well done.
