Meppstas 5,021 Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 This trip was to a small river just five minutes from home, this stretch of river was one I used to fish quite often until the record floods back in 2016. That flood really knocked the guts out of this little stream as did another one back in 2022, this trip I wanted to see if the trout had returned in this stretch of river. cheers Adrian (meppstas) Yorky, Des, Mickyj and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Booma 1,362 Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Cracking fish and scenery! I always enjoy returning to rivers and creeks and after flood events, its often like fishing an entirely new stretch of water with the pool and run structures changing dramatically.

Meppstas 5,021 Posted October 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Thanks Booma, it was good to see the trout were back in this little river, 2016 we had a record flood that wiped out 5 road bridges on the Mersey River as well as flooding the whole Merseylea area where over 300 dairy cattle were washed away. The Mersey River rose 7.5 metres in 2016. When things finally settled down I managed to get a few photos of the damage on the Mersey River, it wasn't good either. Thankfully we've only had one other flood since then.. cheers Adrian Des and Mickyj 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
