Our ecologist are on the lower river #Severn #Gloucestershire & #Worcestershire today conducting fish fry surveys. They are reporting some of the best catches for many years. Lots of #chub & some awesome mini predators #zander It's been a good year for recruitment #gofishing

Another shit storm on the river after today’s rain!! Thousands of litres of sewage pour into the River Wye from Hay sewage pumping station & it’s all perfectly legal!! @NatResWales @DwrCymru @WUFoundation #hayonwye #riverwye #pollution #riverpollution #sewage #shitstorm

Before, during and just under 2 years later. @WildTroutTrust river restoration on the Dever, Hampshire. It works. Simple as that!

While the #heat is gone our #rivers are still experiencing low flows across the #Midlands which means our #ecologists and #fisheries staff continue to monitor #water quality and #ecology. If you see a pollution or fish in distress please call 0800 80 70 60.

We are always on the lookout for #graphicdesign volunteers who can help us to share our work and the importance of river conservation more effectively - do you know anyone who could help? Please RT!

Still impacts of #dryweather at the top of the #Teme Fisheries officer Laura has been out checking #fishpasses as part of #waterpatrol Not enough flow here for #Lingen fish pass to work effectively @severnrivers @fishmigration

The Avon is so last week! This week we're working with @WestcountryRT and volunteers from @SomersetWT to enhance spawning/nursery habitat on the River Tone in #Taunton

@TonyPeet69 @Hyosube @OuseFishEA @BarbelSociety @barbelhunters @wildlifebcn @EnvAgency @BBC3CR Definitely Tony any population dominated by large aging specimens is in danger. Shame neither anglers or authorities did anything about it till it was too late.

@Hyosube @OuseFishEA @BarbelSociety @barbelhunters @RiverAnglersCG @wildlifebcn @EnvAgency @BBC3CR Was the big fish not a warning sign of a failing river?

#ThrowbackThursday to the #river #GtOuse at the famous Adams Mill in 2004. The UK record #barbel was caught from this stretch at a #whopping 21lb 1oz and still stands as the record today #barbus @BarbelSociety @barbelhunters @RiverAnglersCG @wildlifebcn @EnvAgency @BBC3CR #fish

#waterpatrol on the #herefordshire Wye this morning. Despite recent rainfall levels and flows are still very low.

@N_Rivers_Trust @robertcook1981 @OuseFishEA @SupportNWT @WildTroutTrust @SalmonTroutCons @TheLynnNews @N_Rivers_Trust comparing a British river under content anthropological influences to the Serengeti, really?

@robertcook1981 @OuseFishEA @SupportNWT @WildTroutTrust @SalmonTroutCons @TheLynnNews Even with a strong otter population I would think a survey in a few years will show healthy populations of trout, bullhead, loach and whatever coarse fish are there. But nothing fat, nothing old. Like antelope on the Serengeti.

The #river #Nar at #Narborough in #Norfolk is looking absolutely stunning following the #habitat #enhancement work! #overhangingtrees #exposedgravels #riffleandpools #channelnarrowing #browntrout #fluffchuckers @N_Rivers_Trust @SupportNWT @WildTroutTrust @SalmonTroutCons

We're so excited to find this baby white-clawed #crayfish - it means this threatened species is breeding once again in #Lincolnshire thanks to our joint project w/ @LincChalkStream. More on how we're working to protect this vital part of our #ecology : gov.uk/government/new…

In light of the Monsanto case, there is a pressing need for greater research into the effect of hazardous chemicals on the UK's wildlife and habitats. nerc.ukri.org/press/releases… …

These majestic beauties were in our rivers until very recently. A tragic extinction well within living memory #lotalota @kbg_conserv @carlsayerUCL @SupportNWT @ianjwinfield @C_Adams1758

Work has started to modify #Powick Weir Worcester: improving fish passage in the @shadsevern project 360 fish rescued this week from the Mill Leat (isolated during the work): salmon, trout, eel, grayling, chub, barbel, pike, lamprey, dace, roach, perch ow.ly/KVj330llXyP

Working through the backlog on a Saturday morning #watersamples #filtering #sedimentflux #SomersetLevels

WUF come in for much deserved criticism in this week’s Anglers Mail for not closing their Wye fishing. #wuf #wyeuskfoundation #riverwye #fishing #angling ⁦@WUFoundation⁩ #barbelfishing

A great illustration of the impacts of leaving fields bare, resulting in tonnes of soil washing into rivers and smothering spawning gravels. This is why it's critical that Government takes notice of the @AnglingTrust & @wwf_uk #SavingTheEarth report: bit.ly/2ASc6XN
