Re: Goosander
They are a major problem on many Welsh rivers, you expect to see them on the middle or upper reaches of almost any river, the Wye, Severn, Usk, Dee, Conwy, Dyfi and Clwyd all have them in good numbers and probably others.
THe worst time is when they have well grown broods that number up to 10 or more and they are all eating let's say 10 parr a day, that's 3,000 juvenile game fish a month!!!!!
