Has i said in the article i have seen the exact same 'rash' on a fish in this country. When i first caught the fish (a 32lb common) it only had a small 'rash' on its head, then when i caught it again about 14 months later this had also spread too its gill cover. Niether of the captures was during spawning time. The fish was one of about 60 in 170 acres and to my knowledge it hadn't been caught by anyone else so i wouldn't of thought it was stress. With the time of year we are in now i don't think the 'rash' on the island lake fish is down to spawning, as thay would have spawned a good while ago. Since i never sack fish or in fact retain them for longer than it takes to take a couple of photo's i don't think it is down to the stress of capture. It also seems odd that i have only ever seen this rash on the head or gill covers (you can find spawning marks on any part of the fishes body). I don't think it is harmful, but i was just wondering what it was and if it is a parasite. Maybe we have some budding fish biologists out there who can give us an answer. Cheers, Pat Hi Will,

I have seen discussion amongst other venue owners about the rash, and the consensus was that it was linked to spawning and stress, but largely harmless. The 'Royal 40' from the UK was showing signs of this in pictures from it's latest capture too. Brilliant session Pat, congrats on the big 50.
