Good Morning, When I had Penguin lifted briefly for inspection acouple of years ago when I bought her, she had a number of Zebra mussells on her bottom, Are zebra mussells known on the canal as I do not want to start an outbreak on the Lower Grand Union if they are not, when I move there. Other scraping them off is there any other way to get rid of the blighters
I fancy catching some of these signal crayfish I believe they are very good to eat and the best time is may onwards.Just have to find a good location in the northwest.
Yeah, mussels are pretty much everywhere. The ones that are really annoying are those that sneak past your water strainer when they are tiny and then grow inside the pipes. I found loads of 'em inside the outboard water intake. Little gits.
Ironically, they are getting more common as our waterways become less polluted.
And I think you are not supposed to fish for signal crayfish without a licence, even though the EA wants to reduce their numbers!
