After a couple of weeks of really hard conditions including sub zero temperatures, ice and grue, a rise in water or a change would have been helpful and we certainly got it this past week! The week started off looking fairly promising with the height at 1ft 2" on the Cairnton gauge but that was going to change pretty quickly with the wind swinging into a southerly direction along with rain so by Tuesday morning it was sitting at 4ft and rising very fast due to the snow melt and a lot of broken/thawing ice coming down and therefore the height was at 8ft by the end of play. On Wednesday it had dropped a couple of feet and was quite fishable but by Thursday it was on the way up again. On Friday it had dropped back to 7ft but that wasn't going to last as by Saturday it was over 9ft and rising all day, peaking at just over 13ft during Saturday/Sunday night and carrying all sorts of debris making it the highest since Storm Frank, although not as high as that. We will be at the clearing of the debris for the next couple of days.

The start of this coming week doesn't look great although the river is dropping. There is still more rain forecast up to the middle of the week when it should turn a bit drier but there shouldn't be too much more snow melt to come down after all this hopefully.
