| Alqueva Dam |
That may be a rather bold statement to make when this water is only a few years old, but consider a few facts:
With all these fish already in the river and no populating the dam and spawning, there is no need to do any stocking. Big barbel from the feeder river will be feeding in the dam, returning to spawn in the river in April/may. Carp to 10lbs were in the river already and 20lbs fish are only a few years away. Catfish will take a little time to grow, remember that it took 30 years for them to grow to 200lbs in the river Ebro. On a water of this size it will take time to locate them too.
