There is a new non native invasive shrimp species to be found in Rutland Water. Two of Anglian Waters reservoirs now have their own new non native shrimp species. Rutland has the "Bloody Red Mysid Shrimp - Hemimysis anomala".

A pale creamy hare's fur underside, topped with a light tan shellback with some partridge legs should do it.

I have managed to catch many brownies and rainbows in the 3lb 0oz - 3lb 12oz class which are not really recorded here.
