The river was once again very low. We sampled at the High Street ford and also at the Millennium Bridge. We were particularly successful with fish at the Millennium Bridge - we caught sticklebacks, minnows and loach and saw some larger fish. There were also the regulars: shrimp, leech and mayfly and stone fly nymphs.
In the mid-1980s there were brown trout, minnows, eels, stone and spine loaches and bullheads.
ReplyDeleteAlso lampreys that were plentiful enough to catch by hand. Very few mayfly that I remember.
