Any incident of pollution can have disastrous effects on our fish stocks. Should you observe any pollution in the river please telephone the Environment Agency Hotline (0800 807060) to report the incident. The number is Freephone and is a 24 hour service.
Poaching can also have a devastating effect and can be reported to the same EA hotline. More recently signal crayfish have been foud at Sleights. They can have a devastating effect too and we wish to do everything we can to slow their spread up river. if you see crayfish pleae take a photo if you can, note precisely where you saw it and please contact the committee urgently so we can liaise with landlords and Environment Agency.
Alternatively you can email fish.health@environment-agency.gov.uk to report incidents, but this email address is not monitored on a 24x7 basis and is therefore not recommended if we are seeking a proactive response, eg to an urgent poaching or pollution incident.
If you report any poaching or pollution, please contact the committee urgently so we can liaise with landlords.
Whilst diseased fish are always seen in the river from time to time, particularly towards the end of the season, we are keen to spot the early signs of any significant outbreak of disease. If you feel that there are more than a "normal" number of diseased fish, please contact the committee immediately. We would like the following details for each fish please:
