Fished the river on Sunday and again today and struggled on both occasions, The river is clear but distinctly tea coloured and several degrees colder than it was a couple of weeks ago.

Re: The Severn is cold and BrownI was fishing today and someone told me there was reservoir water coming through which was why the fishing was poor.

Re: The Severn is cold and BrownIt's an old myth in my opinion that the Clywedog and Vyrnwy releases affect the temperature of the river as a whole. I'd say it affects the Vyrnwy and Clywedog rivers when it's first released, but the effect on the Severn is pretty much negligible. the Severn is far more susceptible to air temperature changes and the what the temperature was when rain fell, we get big rises and falls in water temp in winter without dam releases. The river often fishes poorly with that peaty stain in it, and also when the dreaded foam is on the Middle River after rain. The foam has a much worse effect than any dam water.

Re: The Severn is cold and Brown"Is there a particular site that details when they are adding reservoir water to the river?"

Re: The Severn is cold and BrownCould the peaty coloured water also come from all the brooks and small tribs after rain? If so this is down to the Himalayan Balsam which makes the banks muddy.

Re: The Severn is cold and BrownWe fished overnight on the Severn on Sat, It was stained colour when we arrived from all the rain. The air temp dropped with the clear skies overnight and the cold mist rolled in. It fished well all night, but come the morning it was much harder and the bites were few and far between, but saying that I still managed another 4 during the day.
