Nevertheless, they are topped up from a "stocking pond", and the fish
in the stocking pond are fed on fish meal pellets which invariably
contain colouring matter.

It is not a viable proposition to tip that many fish into the water at
once, they would hoover it clean of all aquatic life, and then die of
starvation. The stocking densities are carefully calculated, also
according to fishery returns, and enough fish are "topped up" to
maintain the stocking density more or less suited to the number of
anglers, and ensure that anglers catch enough, without denuding the
water.

This is how virtually all these waters are run nowadays. There is no
other way to do it. In quite a few waters there may be native browns
which grow on quite well, they are not stocked all that often, as they
are more difficult and slower to grow on than triploid rainbows, and
are a lot more expensive.

Whatever.

Have a nice day.

I am quite impressed at the breadth and depth of your knowledge
about all things fishing, Mike. I mean a guy living in Germany
who knows more about the stocking policies of a particular place

vast amounts of arcane, detailed knowledge. We are truly blessed
to have you in our presence and to anyone on roff who considers
you a laughingstock I would offer this post as affirmation of
your worth here.

Whatever you say dumbo. I never fail to be amazed and depressed at
your lack of knowledge and silly behaviour.

The usual recommended stocking density for good water quality is 60 Kg
per acre. As the Thames Water Utilities very kindly offer the
information on their website, ( which I noted above, but Kenny is
simply too stupid to read), that the reservoir has 240 acres, and they
have an annual stocking of 30,000 trout if they stick to the usual
average that means 125 trout per acre at about 500 grams each, if they
stock them all at once. Some waters do this. They do not state what
they do here, but they do mention stocking ponds.

Oh, and as he is also probably far too stupid to do the simple
arithmetic, that means 15,000 Kg of trout, at a pellet/protein
conversion ration of at least 5-1 and probably a good deal more, as
they stock grown on browns as well as rainbows, ( browns grow slower
and eat more), that 15 tonnes of fish cost 75 tonnes of marine bait
fish.

Well, not knowing what the hell you're talking about has never
stopped you from pronouncing before, there was no expectation
of anything different this time.

But do please carry on, your hysteria is hysterical.

Um...what do carp in London have to do with trout in Oxford...?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know,

One further point of interest dumbo. I did not always live in Germany,
and for quite a while when I lived in England, I worked part time as
a fishery officer for the Northumbrian Water Authority.Which is now
simply known as "Northumbrian Water". As I have also done for several
water authorities here. In case you are also too stupid to Google
that, ( surprising really, as somebody recently intimated that anybody
asking questions on Usenet should automatically have enough "net
savvy" to use Google), here is the link;

http://www.nwl.co.uk/Reservoirsenv.aspx

I am sure they would even provide you with information as to the
rearing and stocking techniques and policies used on their large
collection of waters, if you remembered your manners long enough to
ask nicely.Maybe this information is even on their site? Of course,
you would have to look and see.

However this may be, you really are a most tiresome idiot, and I can´t
be bothered with you any more.

You should have followed your own advice before you started
pontificating about Farmoor. Remember to Google *before* you
pontificate so you don't end up with that terrible foot taste
in your mouth. LOL !!

Well Kenny, you are a stupid ****, and an evil *******, but I most
pity you for the taste in your mouth, must be terrible having your
head up your arse all the time. Now be a good little man and go and
play with Dickie boy or something, you are just completely out of your
league.

You know just about zero about either trout or fishing, and you are
far too stupid to learn anything.
