Now we’ve had a drop of rain! And the canoes have mostly been put away, I’m hopeful to have my 1st visit to Stacklands before Christmas and was wondering if anyone knows what fishable river levels I should be looking out for and what monitoring station?
Any help advice appreciated
Thanks
Roger

Re: Stacklands river levels

I used to find if it was over 1.2m at Hereford bridge it was a bit of a struggle but others will probably disagree,let us know how you got on

Re: Stacklands river levels

Hi Robhol1,
Looked this morning and river levels show 2.63m so assume Stacklands is unfishable.
I think I read a post using the forum search saying “go if the rivers falling” but without knowing what 2.63m looks like will take your advice and wait a while
Thanks
Roger

Re: Stacklands river levels

It's also worth having a look at he rivercams for various rivers. Doesn't give conclusive information, but definitely an idea as to how the river's looking. See the link at the bottom right of the BAA home page. Only useful in daylight of course.

Here's Hereford from a bit earlier on and The Wye is looking a bit up.

Re: Stacklands river levels

Don’t know why I didn’t think of that Meatman!
I look at Eckington bridge often enough…
River level 2.5m on your screenshot, it’s now under 2m so hopefully on its way down.
I suppose it goes up and down a lot quicker than the Avon, so when I go I’ll try to remember to check Hereford bridge webcam then I’ll have a reference point.
Thanks for your replies guys
