the rain yesterday morning pushed the Stour up 6 - 8 inches, still clear. But the rafts of floating scum on the weedbeds has been washed away. sadly this will mean lower water when it returns to normal.
Dog Buscuit,
If you want to find barbel, chub, bream and roach on the Stour I suggest that you do what I spent 2 hours doing on saturday morning - reconnaisance with a pair of polaroids! If I tell you where the fish are they might not be there in September, far better you do your own searching. I saw thousands of roach to 2lb, perch to 2lb, chub to 6lbs, barbel to 10lbs, bream to 6lbs plus pike dace etc. It will be time well spent.
