Now that everyone knows there are no longer any giant carp in Redmire, since the draining and restoration back in 2018?, it seems strange that they have kept it such a closely guarded secret about what they found the stock actually consisted of when it was drained.

Thanks Julian
It’s pretty well known that nothing over 30lb came out in the restoration but most of the fish died when relocated to Little Redmire. They were replaced by stocked fish of Redmire lineage. There now is a fish around 30lb and plenty of 20s.

Thanks for that info, I didn’t know any of that, other than the restocking had Redmire lineage fish included and that they have now reached over 30lbs .Do they know why most of the fish died when removed ?

Otters were blamed but I think oxygen crash as well.
