I was also fishing early this morning and had the misfortune of hooking a SIGNAL CRAYFISH (Leeds/Liverpool Canal) have you come across this beastly invader ever Stewart? Can’t say it was a pleasant surprise this monster was around 20cm long! Alarming to say the least.
Hello, Roger. I caught my first one over ten years ago.
I was perch fishing on the River Dove and landed one about the same size as you did!
Sadly, they are bad news. They’ve caused massive decline for our native crayfish.
