Thanks chaps Smile

Keith lets meet up midweek next week, I will drop a pm

One thing from today we need two buckets, one to keep them in before measuring, one for after. Today had to make 7 trips to send them on their way. Steve you have a white bucket from the Riverfly day, can you take that down mate and I will swap it over with another next week.

Also pen and paper, again need to leave one there, thought it was but there you go.

Nice one Colin/Mike. Not many coming thru. I wonder if we'll get more when it hots up...

Cheers lads Smile

The warmer weather will get them moving for sure and considering it was a near blank for the trap at Teddington last year, its looking good Cool

Happy to do this weekend's check.

Subject: Re: Eel Trap results 2012 Tue Jun 12, 2012 2:01 pm

Cheers mate, who can be the wing man Smile

Will take a look tomorrow as with these near flood conditions it could be dangerous, if in doubt...

The river is on red boards for about 20 locks above Molesey, so will still be raging at the weekend.

Does that mean we shouldn't visit the trap until it calms down?

Subject: Re: Eel Trap results 2012 Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:49 pm

Best is to gauge it on the day mate, if its piling over that area then no leave it, not worth any risk.

Yep I'm sure it'll be fine.

If it looks particularly moody I'll let Glyn go down first Very Happy
