The chart displays the number of fish caught for each species, as well as the total number of visits. The
fish species represented are:
•Total Visits
•Trout
•Grayling
•Barbel
•Chub
•Dace
•Pike
•Salmon
•Gudgeon
•Perch
Analysis:
Dominant Species: Dace is the most abundant fish species caught, with a count of 118. This is the
highest among all species, indicating that Dace is the dominant fish in this location.
Significant Total Visits: The total number of visits is 106, which is a significant factor in understanding
the catch numbers.
Moderate Grayling and Chubb Populations: Grayling and Chubb show moderate catch numbers, with
71 and 56 respectively, suggesting healthy populations of these species in the area.
Moderate Gudgeon Population: Gudgeon has a moderate catch number of 41, indicating a notable
presence of this species.
Lower Catch Numbers: Trout, Barbel, Pike, Salmon, and Perch have relatively low catch numbers,
ranging from 20 to 1. This suggests either lower populations of these species or that they are less
frequently targeted by anglers.
Observations and Interpretations:
The data suggests that The Holmes is a location with a strong Dace population.
The total visits are relatively high, suggesting a reasonable level of angling activity at this location.
The low catch numbers for some species, particularly Salmon, might indicate specific habitat
preferences, fishing pressure, or migratory patterns.
