Mid Season 2025
On 1 May we stocked the lower beats with 100 11" to 13" brown trout. A good number of members volunteered for the session which makes it a far more enjoyable occasion as everyone can share the difficult task of carrying a large trug with >15 brown trout plus water along the access path. Whilst the task only takes about 2 hours from start to conclusion it is most encouraging to see and hear members exchanging tips and methods as the work progressed.
To show members and other visitors to our website here are a few photos that capture the afternoon.

During the afternoon we took time to examine the invertebrates - goodly numbers shown up here on two different rocks lifted from the river bed.
Once all the fish had been safely put into the river a check was made so we had a record of temperature and Dissolved Oxygen levels. These figures showed a healthly river system, a touch warm, but we were in the middle of a long spell of hot weather.
