Just had a walk downstream of Walton. River up with a strong flow and good colour. Looks perfect. Can't wait to get going for first full season after an interesting return to Barbel fishing at the end of last season.

I had a look around Shepperton and Sunbury and the colour is awful looks like a peaty colour, the one you get on moorland streams. No fish activity what so ever, might have another look tonight. heavy rain is forecast for tonight and tomorrow and rain friday and saturday.

Ian, interesting, re levels at bray?? maybe they were filling QM reservoir and others? The tea colour is quite usual at this time of year, some form of algae, but it will slow, or stop weed growth, which may inturn effect spawning? Saw no signs of fish activity, not even small stuff, but the timing of my lookabout was probably too early to see fish rolling etc.

Hmmm,
Interesting re the level on the lower. Jumped into the tin bath this afternoon and chugged up through Bray and Maidenhead. Those pounds still a decent level, certainly above normal summer levels. All gates open at Bray and water charging over.
Water a horrible tea colour...

Hello all

Might be paying the price for the amount of water they were running off during the winter months, The wiers and sluices seemed to running at full capacity for alot more of the time than I can remember previously.

Don`t know about the Thames but the chub and barbel are at it big style on the Wey at the moment. Nearly every gravel run I looked at this week is black with chub and a good few barbel too.

Even on the semi it seemed low early evening. The bream certainly weren't fussed, they seemed to be more than active.
So have you seen any signs of spawning by the barbel or carp yet Pete? I guess it can't be long now, perhaps this year the close will be at the right time for the majority of species?

Don,t think there where any gates open downstream, the weir at Weybridge was just a trickle, no water coming down the river at all. 2 weeks ago it was 2ft up and charging through, watch out for the hosepipe ban!!!

Peter, I was also walking the Lower today and surprised at the amount of "new" beaches that were visible. Too many gates open down stream?

Still a month of our unpredictable weather to go yet, so who knows what the new season will bring?

OK, so who nicked all the water???????????, just had a look around some favorite haunts, the river is at a very low level, not seen for a year or so, and then only in august.The flow is negligable, especially considering the wet winter/spring, This doesn,t bode well for the new season, if predictions of a hot summer are true, but they said that last year!!!

THAMES CARP!
After a couple of seasons on other rivers, going to spend the new season back on the thames after the barbel, although want to spend some time after a thames carp? going to concentrate around the hampton ct area, any info on how and where to target these carp would be great...
(P.M me if you dont want it posted on here.)
many thanks and good luck all this coming season.

Sorry lads couldn't resist!!
Obviously, I don't condone breaking the law and have never fished a river in the close season but even though I am a member of ACA I cant help thinking the rules are now outdated for the larger rivers such as the Trent and Thames!! but that is for a Non-River report discussion!!

Roll on June 16th..

Hi all my dear, dear fellow Thamesters.
May I wish you all luck this term.
Im so excited I cant wait to get into it, there are so many good fish going to come from the old Farther, and whats more its going to get better and better the more its fished. We have seen a few tasters, some great fish turning up the last few years. What other river is so unknown, with infinite potential. Fantastic opportunity awaits us all.
Cheers Dick
