I am a new member from Dorset and live only 150 yards from the Lower Stour at Iford. I am an 'all rounder' but specealise in chub, barbel and particularly roach. Mainly fish Throop, beats 1 and 3, away from the madding crowds. I generally float fish, using a pin but will use a FP if really neccessary. Have been living in Bournemouth for over 45 years, prior to that on the Thames at Sunbury.

Welcome aboard.
Correction you don't live 150 yards from the Stour at Iford, the river (water) is right outside your front door after all this rain?
Gotta laugh eh, or we would all be crying
Were all mad as hatters on here, but you'll get used to it :w

Welcome to FM
You got yourself a job mate, posting the conditions of the river Stour at Iford bridge
At the moment its almost sandbags and launch the boat time around here.
A neighbour has just had a single tile blown off his roof, it fell onto his drive where his two cars were standing......
Motto; if you own two cars you deserve everything they bring, good and bad
mg:Yes Mick, perhaps I have.
The level is up to nearly the same as Xmas Day and looking at the gauge hieghts further up stream there is a lot more to come. Throop is definately unfishable, (you can't find it!), and I don't think an sensible person should go near it at present. Long range it would sugeest towards the middle of January before it may settle down, but the Yanks are sending it over every couple of days or so, don't hold your breath anytime soon.
