So following up on my offer - with the caveat that I accept no responsibility whatsoever for these suggested levels - I reckon the following applies - very roughly to Uckinghall Pool - based on the EA's Saxon Loade levels:
- water starts flowing into the pool from the pipe at about 2.1m and above
- water coming over the banks and restricting fishing access from about 2.6m and above
- access to the pool becoming an issue at about 3.5m and above
For some strange reason I used to gauge the levels based on Diglis which I realise is miles away so I have tried to convert these and will track them when there to see how these levels pan out for Saxons Loade, which is much closer, to see if they are about right.
Also note what I said in the previous post about dropping levels often having a big lag; as the land drains ie the river level may seem low enough but there is still flooding on the approach road - recently it caught me out due to prolonged floods and I had a wasted trip - albeit I did get on the river elsewhere. It also takes a good 4-5 days for the pool level to come back right down to the river level after it drops, due to the low flow through the pipe.
Hope this is useful.
Anyone else got similar levels for the other pools near the rivers?
