Morning everyone,
When on the bank yesterday i was having a right good natter with the person in the next swim to me.
One of the things we ended up talking about was the increase in fish weights. Supposedly if we take a look at the records alot of dramatic increases have taken place in the last ten years.
Now i know everyone will be saying oh those HNV baits, but surely they've been around and in biggish use longer then 10 years.
Right well i didnt know this but apperently around 10 years ago nitrogen was starting to be heavily used as a pesticide (i think) on farmers crops.
Now even a if water isnt next to a farmers land surely it will all get picked up in the water cycle anyway. So almost every water will be affected.
The idea being that the nitgrogen leads to a big increase in water quality, leading to more natural food. Obviously meaning bigger fish.
Im not saying this is completly true but the person who told him this is a fish scientist and well respected angler. So i reckon it may have some truth in it.
Although i still think the HNV baits played a part in it has anyone else heard this theory or got any others of their own?
