The past week was unsettled, with much heavy rain – this both helped and hindered us!

The water temperature on the rainbow trout lakes dropped by three degrees, improving conditions there, whilst the on the river, levels rose and fell twice – and became coloured. Writing this on Monday morning, the river is still coloured and about 30cm above normal level, though improving. With another unsettled week forecast, do ring me for the latest water condition update.

Please be aware that all this week, contractors will be using a floating excavator to remove the excessive weed growth from Luffs and Lower Figgs, from 8am to 5pm each day. Though interesting to watch – and feel free to do so – please stay well away from the working machine!
