Unusual wave action caused by a strong underwater current most probably. If it were to be an aquatic beastie the most likely candidate (and even that would be extremely rare) is a large adult sturgeon breaking the surface (up to 12ft in length, humped back, long sinous body). Another faint possibility is an abnormally large freshwater eel but is NOT a plesiosaur! Virtually every large freshwater lake in the world boasts a monster (though oddly not Lough Neagh, the largest in Europe) and the likeliest explanation is always unusual wave action, sometimes aggravated by logs or tree branches floating just below the surface. | ||

A giant anaconda perhaps? living on one of the islands unseen and slipping out for a swim? that would explain why the sonars had never spotted it...  | ||

Aye, even Bala Lake in North Wales (passed regularly on car joruneys to visit my late gran) supposedly has a beastie (Teggie) Mind you, it is home to a fish called the gwyniad, which is unique to it... | ||

In all seriousness, crocodiles, alligators, caiman, giant snapping turtles and even abnormally outsized terrapins have all been found released into British waterways, and surviving, over the years. So one never knows... |
