    Peaked at 1775 cumecs yesterday, now back down to 676 already. Still too high to be mucking around up there.

    Last year in April i seen 4 stags with out hesitation just trot into about 300 cu/secs of fast flowing water and swim across at about 45 degrees to the other side.It was quiet deep and narrow bit of water.
    Bloody impressive swimmers i thort.
