A combination of this and fish theft seems to be the case. I've e-mailed a couple of water authorities about the canal, but have yet to recieve any response. Local chav are draining the canal, Polish chav are eating the fish ..... either way no-one seems to care enough to do anything about it. S'pose if they develop a taste for boat-owners....................

They seem to be going for the smaller pounds......I have pictures on my mobile phone I'll try to get them posted here later today.I wasn't sure if the police would do anything about this, I'll let them know what's going on. So far the pounds they are draining are close to a lane or road, obviously for transporting the cargo. Thx for the number. I'm guessing I'd need pictures of them in the act for the police to do anything about it, anyone lend me a night vision camera ?

Hi I've recently started to use the Huddersfield Broad Canal side for my morning run and am disturbed to see sections of the canal drained of water and fish in distress. On Tues the 13th the sections between locks 6 and 5 were empty, this morning the sections between locks 4 and 3 were empty, I missed my run yesterday but wouldn't be surprised if the stretch between 5 and 4 was drained. I spoke to 2 local anglers and 2 waterways workers who were refilling the canal on Tuesday, all of them told me it was a group of Polish men netting the fish for the table. Are you aware of this happening? and what can be done about it. I'm a big guy but have been warned of approaching them if i catch them at it, as they are aggressive and apparently carry knives. What can/is being done about this? It seems to be happening all over the country
