24th July 2014


Thursday morning and the colour is much improved .


Yesterday we took delivery of 7500 grayling fry and these are in addition to the 4000 we introduced earlier in the year , a very satisfying part of the job . A big thanks to the Environment Agency for supplying and transporting them for us . The fry are all hatched this year and will go along way to increasing the population whose numbers have reduced in recent years . Interestingly you can see the fry are spotted at this age !

Wednesday morning and the river is still running coloured , I sense a small improvement on yesterday however its far from ideal still as you can see .

22nd July 2014



The river has fallen back to summer level ,  however as you can see the colour remains muddy !  This is unusual given the current level . Not ideal for the fly by any means .

21st July 2014



The river is falling following a lift during the night ,  as a result of heavy showers yesterday . The colour is very poor as you can see and really not suitable for the fly .

Despite rain yesterday the river remains unmoved .
