Fishery stocked

Just took delivery of some very good looking rainbows and blues from 2 1/2 upwards. All fully finned and waiting to go.
Trying to upload a pic but BT internet playing silly bu**ers!
Will try later......once recovered the will to live!!!

At last pic of the delivery truck. This truck has 4 different containers for the fish each one can carry about 50 kilo or so of fish safely with extraction and oxygen units in each. The fish can be netted and carried into the water or shot through a plastic pipe directly into the lake. Dependant upon the "new" water conditions the fish can take anything up to 48 hours to adjust and come to terms with their new life. In optimum conditions a new stocking can make the older residents more active as they sense that there are new "immigrants" ready to steal their food! As our water is likely to be colder than the stock ponds they have come form the new intake will more than likely go deep as they acclimatise but.... on the other hand they might just start to leap about the place like mad who knows?
