The highest surge we’ve had so far this winter has been 4’6” above normal, we’ll see how high we go this time. Heavy rain overnight, but the river isn’t noisy – the first indication as soon as you step out of the door.

I was looking at the level yesterday and it’s about 18” above. I was also reflecting on the numbers of fry that I had seen. Hundreds of small fish (obviously!), around half an inch long, and swimming in the darting motion that they have at that age – maybe a week old, who knows.

What’s likely to happen to them?

We’ll keep you in touch…
