it is far worse than i realised , hundreds of carp have been seen dead on the brigewater canal by barge owners, i myself saw 6 dead this morning, and i have spoken to people walking the banks, and they have reported lots of dead carp, god knows how many are lying on the bottom. this is really serious and nobody is being notified, the whole system seems to be affected, from middlewich through to agden and on to manchester.a freind of mine has notified warrington anglers, who have closed their carp waters, but left the canal open.
