Very sad to see that its happening again, and again, and again.
I had a look at the Irk yesterday afternoon, and the stench of sewage was terrible.
manchester fishing Irwell Ribble Trout
This happens far more often than we realize. In my neck of the woods sewage spills into Clear Creek happen once every five years it seems. The officials make it sound like a harmless accident even though it wipes out the fish.
Never good Mike,had the same on a little Brook near me,rest of it is fine but at the epi-centre of the sewage leak we lost a few hundred fish including some beautiful Roach,chub,Perch and Trout.
What will the perpetrators get?
A slap on the wrist in the shape of a small fine no doubt.
all the best
