Huge Lamprey?

Geoff Ryan has kindly sent in this picture that he took whilst crossing the river recently. The quality is not the best as it was taken with a mobile phone but you can see the length of this beast compared to the fishing rod. It must be 3 or 4 feet in length I guess. Amazing! Have you seen any interesting things on the river lately? Animals, fish, insects or plants? I am sure many of our followers would be interested to know and if you have pictures that that would be even better. Only a handful of you are sending me fishing reports, which is disappointing as I and they are making a supreme effort this season to make this blog the 'one to follow'! Please send your fishing reports to me kingfisher at kingfisherajh@yahoo.co.uk
