Still no real rain around although the bottom beats saw a small rise.  water is still brown with visibility about a foot.  A few dark small fish have been seen and some people are fishing. Well good luck with that.

The season is really over in many respects I suggest and lets hope after all they have been through there is no mad scramble to catch a few pre spawners.

Has anyone else had this correspondence from the EA.   Best not comment on it or could be in trouble. Is it a sick joke???   How your licence fee keeps fishing fabulous.  Oh dear/!!!!!!

Hello Geoffrey   We’ve missed you on the banks recently and would love to see you out there fishing again. With summer finally here and Covid-19 restrictions easing, now is the perfect time to dust off the rod and get back out there.   Don’t forget you will need a valid fishing rod licence, as your licence may have expired, so do double check. Starting at just £30 for a 12-month, 2-rod licence it’s easier than ever to renew – just buy your licence online and away you go.   All income from fishing licence sales is used to fund work to protect and improve fish stocks and fisheries. This includes improving habitats for fish, reinvesting money back to facilities and clubs for anglers, tackling illegal fishing and working with partners to encourage more people to give fishing a go.   As COVID-19 restrictions start to ease, fishing can be a way to safely reconnect with friends and family you haven’t seen. Spending time near water has been found to have a positive effect on mental wellbeing, increasing happiness and enjoyment of life, as well as reducing anxiety levels.   The Angling Trust’s COVID-19 hub provides key advice and guidance to fish safely during this time.   Keep in touch We’d really like to stay in touch with you as well. So while you’re getting your licence, don’t forget to sign up to receive our newsletter by clicking the ‘update me’ box. It’s a great way to find out what’s happening in the world of fishing each month and how your licence fee keeps fishing fabulous.        See you out there soon,     The Environment Agency fisheries team        PS don’t forget that regional byelaws apply to all waters in England.
