I wish you hadn't posted that - it brought back memories of fishing
the Irt at Holmrook in Cumbria in the 1960's. On my first visit what I
at first took to be a large patch of dark weed stretching across the
tail of the pool turned out to be a shoal of 2-3lb seat trout probably
a couple of hundred fish just in the one pool.
