On my way to fishing this morning at around 5.45 I caught the tail end of the ' Farming Today ' programme on Radio 4.
In one section they were talking about the KHV virus which apparently killed some 500 carp this summer at a fishery in Worcestershire, causing the venue to be closed for several weeks. They also said ' careless anglers ' could be ( not, ARE ) spreading the disease via nets etc that are not disinfected ( via dips )between trips to different venues.
They mentioned 11 cases of the virus have been recorded in various parts of the country including Cornwall, Lincolnshire and Staffordshire.......
I understand it only affects carp ?
I know ' chrissh ' raised this subject in early August, but I thought it worth raising again and perhaps if someone knows what ' disinfectant ' could be used at home ( no precautions taken on my fisheries !! ) to dip nets perhaps they could add in to this thread..............
This may not be serious long term, but I think we all have a sense of duty around such things, although I'm sure some will only see it as someone else's problem .........
