The disease is believed to have started at West Acre, Norfolk, on the River Nar, and to have been carried two miles downstream where it affected a second trout farm at Narborough. Fish from one of these farms were then transported by road to Holt, on the River Glaver, to Tasburgh on the River Tas (which flows into the River Yare) and, most important of all, to a tiny tributary of the River Hiz, at Hitchin, Hertfordshire. This connects a fish farm there with the Hiz, the River Ivel, and then the whole of the Great Ouse, the Hundred-foot Drain, the Sixteen-foot Drain, the Middle Level, the Nene, Cambridgeshire, and its tributaries, and the Welland, Lincolnshire, and its tributaries. These are all famous fishing names which are now imperilled.
