Once again we begin this year’s journey, these wonderful little Dace have provided us with a great start to the season 👌

89,000 fish were supplied to the Midlands by @FishFarmEA in Nottinghamshire last year.

They've been used to restock rivers and stillwaters across the region, to help boost fish populations.

All funded by rod licence income 🎣

This month we stocked 5,000 bream from @FishFarmEA into Gunwade Lake in Ferry Meadows Country Park, Peterborough.

A partnership project with the local angling club and Nene Park Trust has also created valuable habitat and refuge areas for fish.

Supported by rod licence income.
