Since last Wednesday evening the 24/11/10 I measured 130 mls up until Sunday morning. Higher in the catchment and above the Newlyn Res there are reports of in excess of 140. So the creek has washed more debirs down, destroyed flood gates and fencing that crosses the creek etc. Before the rainfall of the Sept 4, Newlyn Res was stocked with about 4000 trout, the reporst I am getting is most of them went over the spillway during the flood so our creek will most likely be supporting fish again.
