Pleasant morning. Water was a little more like coffee than just muddy - i.e. a milky brown.

Another pleasant morning. Interesting observation (I thought something was different when I drove into the car park), but there is no toilet block here any more, all that is left is a bare patch of dirt.

wonder why I bother some times - got to the site to find large load of rubbish just dumped at the end of the car park - most of it recyclable packaging!!

Pleasant morning although the grass is getting longer and was a bit wet this morning. Used my new camera, set to 300k size - will try next size up next time as not sharp enough.

pity the fishermen who use this stretch of river don't show it the respect it deserves - they always leave their rubbish behind on the bank!!

Warming up, and water level down quite a bit. NOTE: bugs were done last Thursday (8/3), with Voytek Lapinski, when the water level was a bit higher. Bugs for this month will be entered as a separate visit!!

Not too much has changed, except for an extremely high water line from the Christmas Day storms. Looks like a bit of a snag in mid stream too. Flow is still very good.
