Now here's something a bit strange for a Friday evening.

Anthony Bostock of Rowan Close, Sleaford has been formally cautioned after taking fish out of a lake he owned and putting them into a river.

He discovered pike in the Langdale Lakes back in March and was worried they would eat the other fish so caught them and released them into the Barlings Eau, a small river and tributary of the Witham.

However, moving any fish to and from rivers, canals and stillwaters requires a permit from the Environment Agency. A permit that Mr Bostock didn't have.
