That's okay Rich. Just know that cod believes in you.

I believe in cod, the flounder and the holy roach.

Cod in the Great Ouse? They must have moved in a mysterious way to get there.

It all got a bit surreal. Hammerite was convinced about this, even when we asked him where the trawler fleets were. He's from Bedford so it's not as if he wasn't familiar with the general area.

I ran alongside a fair length of the Great Ouse today (well one of its courses anyway), went from Littleport to Cambridge. I did pass a fisherman at one point.

To be fair it's a simple swim from the Wash, but I'm not convinced cod can survive in fresh water. Perhaps near King's Lynn?

This conversation came up at the Oakley 20 IIRC. Which is some distance from Kings Lynn and indeed civilisation its very self.

The burbot (Lota lota) or bubbot[1] is the only gadiform (cod-like) freshwater fish. Also known as mariah, freshwater ling, the lawyer, coney-fish, lingcod,[2] freshwater cusk and (misleadingly) eelpout, the burbot is closely related to the marine common ling and the cusk. It is the only member of the genus Lota. For some time of the year the burbot lives under ice. They require frigid temperatures to breed.[3]
