There will certainly have been some fish moving home along the valleys . River fishing for carp is usually quite profitable after a flood like this one.
I recall Docklow's 'landlocked' specimen pool flooding back in 2007. Their carp were getting caught at the bottom end of the Lugg from where they were 'helpfully' re-homed in a number of syndicate lakes. Docklow also lost a bunch of catfish but, to the best of my knowledge, they haven't turned up in the Wye.

Question has to be " How many fish are left in this lake I'm fishing". Only time will tell. Unless it's netted.

I feel it will be a terrible summer, lots of lakes will have problems especially if they have been flooded from rivers😥

i was at the bridge down stream at preston bamber bridge/church deeps, and it was to the top of the flood walls and bridge, and all the fields around preston was a inland sea, a shark rod 160lb braid and 96 oz lead just to hold bottom lol
fished that spot on the drone for 30 years

Is it now attached to the river.
I remember some big floods probably 25 years back where after all the water receded a small local river that flooded into some lakes the carp,tench and bream found a new home and the lakes had to do a bit of restocking.
I imagine this flood will be the same. The weather is unpredictable in this country, we get so many weather fronts from the Atlantic, North Africa, Eastern and Northern Europe all mixing together. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Who wants predictable weather 52 weeks of the year.

Drove past broadlands lake in Southampton and it like one massive lake at the moment!

Think they shut the M6 for a while at Tickled Trout, was told the Arches under the bridge could not be seen!
How high are those Arches Mal , must be 25 - 30ft?

I saw some footage of the ribble on north West news and it looked pretty mental.
Is the tickled trout still standing?

Oh it was serious, I've never seen anything like it - where I normally Park in the field, it's way above the River's normal level, was like a huge lake last weekend!

It was serious around here last weekend when Ciara hit, ground was already soaked – a farm road behind my house was there on Friday when I took the dog a walk, by Sunday all that’s left is rubble!
The private stretch of the River Ribble I fish was 19ft above normal levels (Highest ever recorded) I’ve seen drone footage of it during the Sunday; it looked like the Mekong Delta!
Amazingly only a 20ft section of walkway was ripped out (Vanished) all the rest was fine including the swims, it was a wise decision to pile those 6ft Posts in a full 4ft when building it all.

Yep, I work about 1/2 mile down road from A1 and its mental here. Flooding everywhere and will no doubt have a big impact on the fisheries when it does subside.
