    Freshwater Fish?

    Zander are good eating. Like pike these are predators so you need to dead bait (fresh water fish eg roach) for them, they do go for lures. If you aint to squemish live baiting works as well. Good time of year for them especially at dusk. Dont bother taking any thing over about 6lb in weight...

    Filtering and treating flood waters?

    Probably a lot of drinking water has been wasted. Dont forget it not just having the right "kit" to survive but also the right mentality. I live in Tewkesbury town and some of the sights i have seen over the past few days beggar belief. A large ammount of folks have done nothing but get Brahms...
