Friday morning and river level is good with little change on yesterday . The second picture shows a young Roe buck being forced to cross the river following a territorial dispute , the other buck ( out of picture ) had chased it from woodland to the right of the picture .

River level is good . Overcast with the risk of showers later , no sign of the wind at the moment !

Wednesday morning and the river has settled down and thankfully for now the wind has eased considerably .

24th May 2011

River is currently currently falling after peaking once again during the night following yesterdays showers . Level is good and colour is fishable , with the risk of more showers the situation could be reversed .

Monday 23rd May

River level as at 0800 hrs showing evidence of yesterdays showers , stepping stones just visible .
Colour is ok . However the wind is strong and set to get stronger ! Strid Wood will offer respite in places or perhaps an opportunity to try czech nymphing .

Conditions as at 0800 hrs this morning , slightly down on yesterday and looking good . Yesterday fished well to both dry and wet fly/nymph .

19th May 2011

Following yesterdays blog showing conditions as at 0800 hrs , the picture above shows the river at 1300 hrs after the river rose rapidly carrying alot of colour and large woody debris !!



However as can be seen from the picture above taken at 0800 hrs this morning the river has dropped overnight and is running clean .
