South West Fisheries Newsletter - Devon and Wessex and Cornwall - March 2014
Thankfully, there were no fish kills or significant fish rescues required following the flooding, despite our teams being prepared for the worst. The only report of trapped fish that we had in Somerset was fish trapped in the pools created by the temporary pumps along the banks of the River Parrett. The lucky fish to be
rescued were sticklebacks and a small number of elvers.
