So i keep going on about the 54 freshwater fish species so i thought i'd put them into a list for you to see including weither i've seen, photographed or caught them.
Some fish spend most of there time in the sea and just visit rivers like sea bass and mullet while with other fish freshwater plays a more vital role for breeding like salmon and a home for eels.
Species with Blue next to them i haven't filmed yet and looking for locations
Species with Orange next to them i've already filmed but after more footage

Newton Park lake, near Bath, is supposed to contain Silver Bream. I have not fished it but have just joined Bathampton AA, who control the water, and saw it mentioned on their website:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.foggi.co.uk/angling/bathampton/waterdetail.asp?CatID=6&menu=11&category=Newton%20Park
Thanks for the info just depends if the lake is clear enough to film in but will look into it
DeleteDon't forget the Pollan (Coregonus autumnalis/Coregonus pollan.)...
ReplyDeletei suppose it could be argued they are still a whitefish, i'd like to come to ireland if possible but unsure if i'll have the budget/time for it.
DeleteFrom what I understand, Pollen are conspecific with artic cisco, rather than (equally confusing/conspecific) European white fish/Powen/ Gwyniad/Gravenche/Fera - both of their family trees are more confusing than a fen farming family.....
DeleteThere is also the Powan (Coregonis Lavaretus), In Loch Lommond scotland, increadibly clear. It maybe a whitefish but is probably one of the ones more deserving of the title 'freshwater fish' Since it is not an invasive or been introduced
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of Zander in the Gloucester Sharpness canal. Most of the canal is pretty murky but down near Sharpness marina its usually gin clear when the Severn isn't in flood. The fish tend to be nomadic though so it'd be down to pure luck on the day if any are in the area.
