So have any of your syndicates or fisheries been affected? I know in the past there have been places that have really suffered.

I was down in Christchurch, Dorset on Sunday until Monday midday and the River Avon that flows under the Christchurch Bypass had flooded, I'm not a regular to this area so not sure if this is the norm? Imagine the Stour would be similar?

The power of the water surging through Mudeford Quay was incredible and parts of the New Forest resembled a swamp, plenty of roads impassable also.

The hole of the pride of derby complex and the Trent are just one massive expansion of water

There will have been a few around Herefordshire that have been affected, North of the city the river Lugg that runs into the Wye has flooded all around the pits at Wellington The Oxbow at Letton and the lake at Kinnersley for sure a few others I can think of as well.

I wonder how displaced the river fish will be now.

COMBINATION OF CIARA AND DENNIS

Good job I live on a hill in the city, if it flooded my house half of the UK would be submerged.

At about 46'seconds the old bridge and New bridge (1960's) and we still call it the new bridge , just North of the New bridge for three or four fields down to just past the south of the old bridge (tennis courts) are where some of the better carp reside in the city stretches.

Looking at the photos on Facebook it looks like A1 pits are the same.

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.

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.

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!

I saw some footage of the ribble on north West news and it looked pretty mental.

Is the tickled trout still standing?

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?

This is the drone footage if someone knows how to do a link, worth watching
