Feeding time with the Grayling. It’s amazing how fast these tiny fish develop and begin to show their colours.

89,000 fish were supplied to the Midlands by @FishFarmEA in Nottinghamshire last year. They've been used to restock rivers and stillwaters across the region, to help boost fish populations. All funded by rod licence income 🎣

This month we stocked 5,000 bream from @FishFarmEA into Gunwade Lake in Ferry Meadows Country Park, Peterborough. A partnership project with the local angling club and Nene Park Trust has also created valuable habitat and refuge areas for fish. Supported by rod licence income.
