It seems even now some people, mainly the fishermen, are not happy, but as I understand it, the beavers will be left for a set period to see what impact they have.

if the fishermen wait a bit they might be surprised at all the extra fish.beaver dams not only protect against flood and drought but they provide an environment for fry as well as a good feeding ground.

both trout and salmon have co existed with beaver for a very long time

This is fairly amusing from the perspective of someone living in an area that is awash in beaver.

It's not unheard of for dynamite to ocassionally be employed upon dams to avoid flooding roadways

We have been through the canalisation of streams and rivers, and the current thinking is that snags and obstructions like beaver dams is a good thing as it slows the water flow down, which reduces flooding downstream, which is where most of the towns are.

I hope the beavers have just gone into hiding and turn up safe. It was nice to know we had beavers in the UK again.
