they have a tendancy of disappearing in winter unless u stock thousands of them n when they get to about 2lb they turn predatory u have to keep stocking them to keep em biting

u will only get permission from the ea to stock if the pond is enclosed ie no inlet or outlet same as f1.s they provide exellent sport all year round if u fail with permission try chub they r just as hardy even in the coldest of weather

we stocked our pool with 1100 of them about 2-3inches and they seem to be doing well. they grow quickly and are great winter feeders. i think the british record is about 8lbs.
