walshie Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) I think it's a stone loach but haven't seen one for years, so stand to be corrected. Edited May 31, 2020 by walshie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Stone Loach indeed! Normally like the base of fast flowing clean rivers. Edited June 1, 2020 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lakeside1000 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 In the late 50's as kids we used to go netting minnows in a small stream in wiltshire and often had a few of these, but I grew up and put away childish things, now I fish with rod and line and never catch anything small !!!!!😅 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
