I half-heartedly cast a line yesterday into a rapidly rising Warwickshire Avon. Thankfully it doesn't look likely to break its banks this time unlike virtually every river in the north of England. My heart goes out to those unfortunate folk who will have a pretty miserable start to 2016.
I didn't expect much action but I wasn't there to empty the place, just an excuse to get out and walk the dog really.
The amount of crap being washed downstream was amazing but made the fishing doubly difficult. On the plus side when the water does recede the river bed will be a lot clearer.

Madness Joe, really is. So that's 5 litres of engine oil and diesel or petrol about to be dumped in the river with seemingly no one giving a sh*t.
ReplyDeleteI looked at the Avon at the lido today, nearly over the banks but some fishable areas so might give it a bash Wednesday, didn't look very fishy mind you. Might have to pay a visit to the cut.
I agree Mick it is madness but nothing will be done as I say until it stops the boaters!! Tight lines Wednesday, think it will be tough going!
DeleteSuch a shame, really is, let's hope this rain abates and allows everyone to try and clear up, really hope that there's no more about to arrive.
ReplyDeleteI agree James, off to the Frome tomorrow so hope it is ok down that way
