I have just started fishing a new pond and have found that all the fish roach, skimers and rudd have black spots all over their bodies. Was wondering if anyone has seen this as well and if anybody knows what is wrong with them if anything is. the fish in the other ponds are ok.

Yes I saw this on the Forty foot at Swineshead bridge in the 80s. Apparently it's some kind of parasite, It cleared up in the Forty foot but I don't know if it was treated. The fish fed freely and didn't seem to be affected by the spots.
The only fish that appeared to be infected were roach.

Yes quite common now unfortunately,does not seem to do the fish any harm but does not look good.
