Yeah with Google and stuff we've never had it so good for fact finding and learning, I just wondered what went into the lead to make it really, So maybe it is leads, maybe emmcee could tell us if a lot of leads do get dropped in there ?

oscsha Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 You could be correct Elmo although I would imagine it would take a lot of leads to make an impact plus most people use coated leads . Certainly interesting to know what has caused the high levels , any illegal fly tipping near by or farmers fertilisers getting into the water coarse ?

... Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 If there was ever an "Industry" near by at 1 time...Tip, Buliders etc some of those could have contaminated the ground over time and leaked in. oscsha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmanstevo Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 We’ve got a water that has amonia that leeches into it,the fish should all be dead but they over the years have survived. It’s a stunning water but it’s very rarely fish able the club are forever closing it. Some of the fish are deformed due to the water quality 😒😒 The metals could already be naturally in the earth the water is in I doubt it’s to do with dropping the leads,but I could be wrong oscsha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) Also how long has the lead dropping craze been around ? At least 20 years I would say that's probably enough for a load to be decomposing So if 30 anglers dropped two 2oz leads a week into there lake, for the last 20 years that would be 7800lbs of lead dumped in the lake and that's probably a generous figure on some lakes Edited September 27, 2019 by elmoputney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your theory but still think its probably fertilizer made its way into the water course . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not suggesting it is for sure, it's just an idea, I did hear something about when they restored redmire they had to re course the drainage from a near field as that Was filling it up with Silt and stinky winky so it's also a plausible theory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
