I read there was a lot of fish deaths (affecting just carp) around 2010 ish in the oundle area. Reading about old matches pre 2010 and loads of carp were caught in the matches. After 2012 they were rarely caught if ever. I suppose it's a good indication of the fish stocks in the area. Is it mainly otters? Or was there a pollution incident around that time?

Thanks, I've fished mainly oundle area for last 10 years now (after the loads of carp era) but have had a quite a few, and always see signs of them in couple of certain stretches. I have a boat moored in oundle so have a little advantage. There are definitely quite a few in the oundle area still and they seem to be thriving and hopefully on the return.

I caught 2 carp around the middle nene area today. I think the river is full of carp. What's anybody else's experience between Thrapston and oundle?
