I have not heard of any studies on the effect of this but many prominent
anglers seem to suggest the increase in large fish on rivers is down to them
eating the signals. They have been there for awhile so you would think the
Rivers Authority would have done some studies.

Like the idea of the lemon but brown bread kills the old tummy and cucumber
repeats so I am guessing a good crusty bit of break and an ice cold cider,
no finesse me.VBG

OK, a generous squeeze of lemon and brown bread and butter - thinly sliced
cucumber is optional extra.

I thought signal crays were known to predate on small fry and young eels
have to be easy pickings for such a set of claws I would have thought.

Yes. What I haven't seen is any sort of survey of the effect of a
population of signals on the rest of the ecosystem. Do they just cream
off
a surplus or is there a significant shift?

Cheerio,
