tozzin Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Saw these just down in the Don near Kelham Island, the river must be getting cleaner. The fisherman was at the Blonk St bridge just at the side if Victoria Station approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tozzin Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Nice to see it isn't it tozzin. It's absolutely brilliant, just prior to seeing these fish, I saw a Kingfisher on the Don at Corporation St bridge, could you imagine what the area must have looked like in the 15 & 16th century, Deer, Wild Boar, Salmon, Trout, Wolves, Beaver etc. what did we do? At least it's coming back albeit slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vox Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 As far back as (90's?) I remember someone having caught a/some fish somewhere around Keham Island. Quite a big deal at the time. I worked on Mowbray Street but I can't for the life of me remember when that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I was catching fish in the Don at Club Mill Lane, Neepsend in the 1980's, I was also amongst the first permit holders when the S.& D.A.A. (Sheffield & District Aangling Association), leased a section of the river at Thurgoland/Wortley, that would have been around 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
