I have been walking the Frome at least once a week, from the confluence with the Avon upstream. Have not seen many fish at all above Peradins Mill, but saw two large hens receiving a lot of attention from at least 8 smaller males. This was the other Saturday morning in about a foot of water just above the bridge at the Inn at Freshford, also plenty of other fish downstream in the last couple of hundred yards before the fish go into the Avon. Similar sights up at Peradins. Mostly small fish by Avon standards -males; 2lb to 4lb and females 5lb to 8lb. But it tends to support the idea that the lower Frome acts as a nursery for the Avon.
Tight lines all
