How does all this flooding alter your local river?
Do the fish always return to the places they were, are will they be downstream and find new homes.
Swims must change with tons of gravel and slit being moved around.
I remember returning to some of my favourite swims after a flood and finding the deep holes had become shallow gravel runs.
New fish may well turn up in your river section especially with flooded carp fisheries.
So those swims and fish you fished for years may no longer be there.
I suppose that is what makes river fishing so much more interesting than lakes which never alter from one year to the next.
