Fencing Update – Tuesday
Rob is getting on with the fence. You will see from the photographs, where possible there is a 10m gap from river to fence – even I will struggle to catch it on a back cast now.
Today a small work party first cleared a fallen tree, before rebuilding an old flow deflector. It is amazing to see how quickly the flow of the river is increased and clear gravel appears below the tip of the deflector.
Another work party tomorrow – Gascoyne Bridge 9am, please bring a packed lunch.

Stage 2 – Pack cut willow between the posts
Stage 3 – All done. You can see the flow deflector has already cleaned the gravel below it.
