hi good luck with your quest but there are a few you have either caught or missed out on as there are a few very rare species that live in the deep lochs of scotland that are protected species so to catch a complete list of uk freshwater fish is nigh on in possible.. eg the powan and several char species cheers andy

Have a word with Nev Flicking at Castaway tackle in Gainsborough....

What he doesn't know about Zeds isn't worth knowing.....

Fens is supposed to be a good spot for them.......


Grayling ?....

River Don in North Sheffield.....around Deepcar/Stockbridge area.

Eels,

Anywhere on the Trent,or it's subsiduaries.....try Fosdyke Navigation at Saxilby,Lincs.........


Salmon.......

Heard reports of Salmon on the Don at Sprotborough,Doncaster,but not seen anything to prove it.....

Char ?....

Now you're struggling............

hi this is quite an intreseting subject as to claim to caught nearly all the uk freshwater fish .. recognised angling species yes possible ..all uk fish no i just done a search on the rarer species of houting inc the powan and char species some of the species only live in 1 or 2 protected lochs ,,even fish as the 3 spine stickleback can be difficult to catch on rod and line,what about alien species if you included carp, zander and cats ..you need to included fish as guppies pumpkinseeds.. and other fish like sub species of carp ..kois and grass carp also what about trout species including the blue rainbow and tiger trout the list is far to long to get anywhere near a complete list of uk freshwater fish,,as you cannot distinguish between one specie and the next if it resides in a uk water cheers andy

if you want to catch grayling try river dove between the two bridges on A50 stoke-derby road
and its free fishing also chub, dace, trout

i am only counting species not sub as like a golden tench is just a gold tench no gernetic differcnce just skin tone. as for the deep loch species all but char are illegal to catch any way so i cant catch them and have intention of as u mentioned with stickle backs its almost impossible to get one on hook n line so i used a tiddler net wihch ive also had bullhead,loach and minnow in.

my full list if i can remeber properly is:
carp, crucain carp, grass carp, wels catfish, barbel, tench, brown/sea trout, rainbow trout, roach, rudd, silver bream, common bream, bleak, ruffe, gudgeon, minnow, spined loach, stone loach, bullhead, 3 and 10 spined stickle back, golden orfe, ide, perch, goldfish, chub, dace and last but not least pike with some sub species like koi and golden tench

hi thats a quite impressive list but if you included gold fish etc then there are species such as bitterling pumpkinseeds etc that are well established in varius lakes canels etc so to complete the list you still have a fair way to go there are species such as orfes blue etc if you included golden that are alien but are caught on rod and line anglers paradise etc hold numbers of these also i know what you are saying but to catch a fish in a net is not angling you might as well use a trammel and say you have caught one technicaly yes,, angling no so why is species like char out then !! have you tried to get special dispensation? to say you catching evey specie of freshwater fish is not reality but a personal target list is reality there are a few species that enter freshwater have you included these ? there are also some so called sub species but are infact species themseves ferox trout is a fish that is targeted but rarely caught in numbers. cheers andy
