Our initial response into a fish kill on the R Mole near S Molton, N Devon, has been completed & the pollutant identified as anaerobic digestate. The source has been identified & our investigation is ongoing. Over 5km of the river was impacted and approximately 10,000 fish died.

Fishing is one of our greatest pastimes, but how far into the past do these traditions go? A new archeological discovery shows our ancient ancestors were fishing 42,000 years ago. bit.ly/2xcPZGC

Tying knots between leader and tippet are always a pain. This knot is simple, quick, and easy to learn: buff.ly/2yvL5Ik #flyfishingknots #fishingknots

I'm in love!! 😍😍 Brown trout are so so so beautiful, check out these colours 🐟🐟🐟 juveniles have this coloration which they lose when they migrate, but they keep it when they assume residency 🐟😍 #browntrout #troutisthebestfish – at Silkeborg, Danmark

Avon Dam, built in the 1950's on Dartmoor. The customary roar of water that normally cascades down the dam face is reduced to a small trickle. #Dartmoor #Photography #Water #Dam

New paper coming soon to Hydrobiologia on the influence of spawning gravel on the abundance of sea trout fry and parr. More gravel in the river linearly increases fry density, but parr density is optimized at intermediate gravel percentage!

Extremely interesting article on the benefits of simply ‘being’ out in the natural world. Many of us have experienced the healing, rejuvenating strength of Dartmoor in our own lives 💚 #dartmoor #wellness #Devon #mentalhealth theguardian.com/environment/…

Shilstone Rocks Precipitation 💜 This extremely beautiful pedigree stallion lived out on the moor with his mares, but was tragically killed on the road. He’ll never be forgotten, and his valuable bloodline lives on 💔 #Dartmoor #ponies #rarebreed @RBSTrarebreeds @TheNativePony

#Dartmoor is a place where livestock and wildlife roam freely. Ponies, especially foals, will run out on the road without notice. Please be aware of this when driving over the moor and slow down. Help us to #LoveMoorLife
