I lost more than I caught! But it was a great day, I learnt some new skills 'twitching' sprats and catching jack pike on a float rod and covered some new water that I've not fished before.

All in all, fantastic fishing!

As it turned out, pretty well! I had 10 or so chub, no monsters but plenty of fun. I also had a chance to try out my keepnet, the hope being it would increase the catch rate as released fish wouldn't spook the shoal. I *think* it worked ;)

I caught chub after chub, a dustbin lid bream and a trout - all in the space of a few hours ;)

I managed to catch quite a few small dace and roach along with two chub, one of which was a bit of a monster!

A fantastic evening session in beautiful surroundings - too good ;)

The river level info on the Environment Agency website has recently been moved to the catchily named River and sea levels for England website.

The good news is that the info is easier to read and mobile friendly!

I've been putting it to good use over the last couple of months to get an idea of the stretches of the Rive Avon I've been fishing over at Keynsham. There's two that are handy:

Latest river level information for: the River Avon at Keynsham RL
This is the Jack Whites stretch below the weir running in front of the old Cadbury chocolate factory.

Latest river level information for: the River Avon at Keynsham US
This is for the Crane stretch above the weir heading towards Swinford.

There's also information on the River Levels site:

River Avon at Keynsham RL

River Avon at Keynsham US

Although the data is the same, it's displayed slightly differently and has some nice additions like maps and graphs.
