Little Brown Trout

Young Brown TroutThe Environment Agency has released 1,000 brown trout young fish into the Horsenden Stream, near Chinnor Buckinghamshire.

The young trout, known as fingerlings, were put into the stream on Wednesday as part of a wider restocking programme across the area in an attempt to boost trout numbers.

Fisheries officers placed the fingerlings into three different locations along the Horsenden Stream. The fingerlings are six months old, are around 124mm in length and have been reared to this stage in fish tanks at a local fish farm.

Fisheries officers from the Environment Agency have also stocked a total of 110,000 trout eggs in incubation boxes along the River Churn, River Coln, Ampney Brook, River Dickler and the River Leach.

Next year Fisheries officers hope to complete a survey to see how successful the projects have been.

Jennie Balmer, a fisheries officer for the Environment Agency, said: "This is a further commitment to restoring fish populations in the area. The Horsenden Stream offers a great habitat for native brown trout, so we hope these young fish will thrive in their new home."
