Following the high water of recent weeks the river has dropped of nicely, currently running about 4″ above Summer Lever and the clarity is good. Water Temperature jumped following the warm spell from 44 to 50 Fahrenheit.
Good to see a return to catching, with Brown Trout and Sea Trout being reported this week, I’d suggest this has something to do with the warmer conditions. With the coming of a new moon we’re beginning to see the return of the “high tides”, with 5m plus tides.
We have a work party this Sunday, meeting at 08:00 at the Cammo Entrance to Grotto Bridge. The plan is to remove the Willow that has formed an island on Beat 2, which is causing erosion of both banks. This is probably going to be an all day job, so even if you can only make a couple of hours then please pop along. Chef Marko will as usual be turning the raw food we bring into a BBQ delight!
