Rising. Not hugely over normal limits this evening in Lacock, but pushing through. Below the weir at Chippenham is a different story though. Pretty much unfishable when they let the water through.

The river is up & brown which should prove interesting for the Nationals on Saturday. Maybe a Barbel will win it

Woken up by rain in the night, woke up to snow on the ground, here is the result.
