Whilst fishing a local lodge in Accrington the other day, I noticed several frogs mating, some on the bottom with several males in attendance and one or two swimming piggyback across my swim. This and the fact that I blanked that day brought back memories of another pond I use to fish regularly where the same thing happened at this time of the year, except that this event was very spectacular. Both frogs and toads in there thousands came to mate and completely took over the pond. It was so spectacular that I took the wife and kids. During this mating frenzy the fishing was completely dead. This happened every year for over ten years, then for whatever reason I stopped going. Once they had finished mucking about it was back to normal, nice Tench to 4lb and the odd Perch to 1-1/2lb. Has anyone else experienced this and did the mating kill the fishing.
By the way as a kid I use to catch some smashing Perch with tadpoles.
