15th September 2025 - the Rivercare undertook their last sampling of the year, when rvier levels at the ford were still very low. The sample revealed a relatively low count, but a look back at previous years in September indicated this was fairly typical.
A few Olive larva were seen, as were a few Mayfly larva. Both Caseless and Cased Caddisfly larvae were found, as were quite a few small Gammarus (freshwater shrimp). Three Bullhead fish were found, and a few Angler's Curse larvae.
