I've just been fishing half a mile from there, and a woman came and told me what had happened. Now I know why I didn't catch any. Do you think it is worth me going down tomorrow to see If I can save any? I have a fish pond that needs stocking. I live locally and know some of the farmers. I wonder which one it was?

Cheaper to pollute and accept the paltry fines than to correctly handle agricultural waste, that's what it boils down to. People with no morals, vandalising our fragile ecosystem from all sides. We are in an ecological crisis, and this sort of thing should never be allowed to happen.

Here in The Netherlands in alot of little harbours like where you filmed this video there are special oxygen pumps in the water in the summer months. It basically looks like a round orange rescue float which almost all ships have but with a propeller in the middle that spews the water into the air about a few feet high which puts more oxygen into the water

This is awful to see. I used to fish a canal near where I live when I was a kid and you used to have to practically fight for pegs to fish it was such a good place. Unfortunately, the same thing happened about 25 years ago and a farm along the canal caused total decimation of the fish by their farming practices. Sad to say but all these years on fish levels have never returned to anywhere near what they were.

Not suggesting its the cause but what people don't realise is boats discharge all sorts of muck into rivers legally. Add in the way many farmers (not all) use the land as a discharge pipe for their factory style operations, some of it perfectly legally. They dig in pipes to drain their fields into surrounding water courses and then add loads of nutrients to the land. Nowadays even factories can't behave like that, their effluent and outputs are controlled.

It's high time farmers went back to older styles of farming. I was reading yesterday that insect life in our country is down by 65% and people were being urged not to put fly papers or traps of any kind up this summer, the reason was pesticieds and chemicals used nowadays in farming. Now this. Fertilizers and pesticides were responsible back in the 50's for wiping out otter (Yes, we all know how bad the otter problem is) but it's a damned sight worse for all of us if we lose all of our fish and wildlife. Maybe it's possible to trace the chemicals back to a farm or find out who has been spraying crops etc over the last week?

Being in a hotbed for dairy farming the farmers or these overstocked farms seem to be able to carry out this crime at will with very little repercussions.

Hi. Absolutely dreadful and almost certainly avoidable. If you’ve not yet contacted Angling Trust I thoroughly recommend that you do. EA are often complicit in this sort of event as they now don’t prosecute ‘small cases’. Several whistleblowers raised this only a few months ago. Something like 80% of field officer’s reports were dropped. And don’t forget the background of this government giving water companies permission to dump raw sewage into all of our waters. Contact your local MP but if she/ he is a Tory you’re probably wasting your time. I wish you the very best in your efforts as you follow this and thank you for raising awareness.

Being involved in the agriculture industry and being a keen angler I can see the deviation it’s caused. I’ve spread slurry many of times near a water course. This must have been a substantial amount to cause this mess. Not knowing the circumstances of how it was ended up in the river I would hazard a guess a pipe has burst on a umbilical system and it has leached into the course. Although I can’t say for definite. But 3 times in numerous years should not be happening. I don’t think we should tar farms all with the same brush because a lot of people complete this job successfully without even having a incident.

Absolutely sickening. What is also sickening is what the EA will not achieve in my experience. If they try hard enough, they may win a case against the culprit, but the fine will not amount to much in the scheme of things. As for future restocking, it’ll be 2oz fish. I never understand this; in my opinion the culprit should be responsible for reinstating all lost stock, no matter the cost of 10lb Pike and 3lb Perch (it’s pretty simple to record the losses when they are floating belly-up!) and the clean-up costs and decontamination costs prior to restocking. The Angling Trust would far better represent us and anybody who cares about our waterways. Not an enjoyable watch, but well done Bud 👍

It hasn't been proven yet but the main suspect is a farmer. I know exactly who it is but we'll leave it there. He has dug a trench from his slurry pits down into the canal. Repeat offender. You should see his burn pile. Every week a huge bonfire of everything and anything that could possibly burn. Always black stinking smoke. The guy needs prosecuting. He has previous prosecutions for negligence. Let's hope it's a crippling fine this time or even some jail time.

@@adventurefishinguk I've been living on the canal for 7 years as a full time boater and have first hand experience of this guy's actions. My source comes from a PAC bailiff and an official working for CRT. You understand I can't go mentioning names here until the investigation has run it's course but the prime suspect is indeed a farmer who is well known on the canal and within the Garstang area. That's all I'm prepared to say at this point. Sacks of fish have been taken to be weight and possibly frozen as evidence. Fish haven't been the only victims but otters, birds and even some rabbits. The affects of this will go far up the food chain. I've been told that EA, CRT and PAC are all working together to form a case for prosecution. Early days yet I guess with these things but I doubt whoever is responsible will be getting away with another slap on the wrist this time. So, things are under way. You can help by contacting these organisations and asking in what way s you can assist.

This is a bad time of year for this to happen. Firstly fish are spawning so we'll lose a batch of new fry. Secondly the water is warming now and warmer water holds less oxygen. The canal also seems to have huge weed growth and at this time of year something called 'dawn depletion' can kick in. All in all a perfect storm which could be lethally exacerbated by a thoughtless farmer trying to save a few quid under cover of darkness. Im so angry that this still happens.

I caught the Canal and river trust hiding dead fish (large bream and pike) in the bushes on my local canal. We had a conversation. They were unnecessarily evasive. I could smell diesel but there was also organic pollution, known problem on that stretch which has agricultural drainage along it. First move always is to report to the EA. Even if there are "officials" on scene. I did this on this occasion. The EA/NRW, as this was Dee catchment, were completely unaware of anything happening and told me that the C&R trust were legally obligated to report this immediately to EA/NRW and hadn't. They were pissed actually, oops. So if you want to get something done learn the signs of different pollutants. Foaming is usually down to some organic contamination or possibly detergents. Oil or diesel is usually obvious too. Early reporting can help immensely , enabling EA to get their gear on site quickly. I have had them arrive before I have left at times. They are always happy to get a report. I report invasives to them also, which also helps a lot for them mapping distribution.. They are a public body people should use them more. So on the real action side of things. If you study the local topography and drainage systems, which are all available one way or another, it is possible to track the source reasonably effectively. A member of the public with a documented and evidenced case forces them into action as a public body. Most of all, look after where you fish. Nobody else will.

I am not supporting this either, however, if that might have no impact what so ever on the environment, this is madness.

Farmers spreading slurry in fields most likely, they do it in the rain out of laziness to and then runs from the fields into the rivers. I think the EA are putting a stop to farmers spreading slurry at certain times of the year for example, dry summer months etc, but they were meant to pass this law years ago, the nitrates also cling to the river bed which makes it all slimey and reduces ideal spawning grounds for the fish massively ! Farming is more intensive than it used to be years ago, farms have 400 cows now as apposed to 30 years ago, all that slurry has to go somewhere when it backs up in the pit, it's a disgrace in 2022 they should know better than this.
