Venue Conditions
R Idle, Beetroot Farm – 07/12/25 – The river has come up some more and has burst the lower banks and is filling up the Meadows/flood plains. However the banks do have some higher spots so some swims are still fishable. The lower end is much more accessible and the river is flowing off reasonably hard with a nice colour.
Besthorpe – 01/12/25 – the 2nd gate is now locked following recent rains and looks like staying locked for some time.
Ladypitt – 02/12/25 – the lower meadow gate is now locked following this week’s rain. You’re quite welcome to walk in but be very careful as it’s like a ice skating rink.. Our bailiffs will keep reviewing the situation and will re-open if conditions sufficiently improve.
