MERSEY BASIN SPECIES HUNT – THE FINAL WEEK!
It couldn’t be closer as we head into the final days of the inaugural Mersey Basin Species Hunt!
Much needed rain has been a big help for many rivers in the catchment of late, and catch reports reflect this – with some fantastic specimens added to an already extensive list of captures.
The Mersey Basin Species Hunt ends on the 30th of September.
