With the recent hot weather and lack of rain, we're now seeing several fishing clubs like Gwent Angling Society and Bradford City AA temporarily closing their trout waters for fish welfare. Here's what we suggested about 'safe' water temps for cold water species fishing last July >>

Annual The Wild Trout Trust fish population survey of the R Worth for @aireriverstrust. Water temp back to 15C after rain. Quick&Dirty analysis of brown trout data show numbers boosted across 5 sites, esp by YoY this year. 6 species in lower reaches, 2-4 in upper. Still no grayling...
So many channels are walled, set in aspic within the floodplain. Via #UpperAireProject & with Environment Agency - Yorkshire & North East #FIP funds, The Wild Trout Trust is working with a landowner on Malham Beck to reconnect the watercourse with the floodplain for a wetter meadow by dismantling the walls... 1/n
