Fishing at Hills Meadow

The effect of Caversham weir and the backing up of the current around the small mill stream combine in this section. The considerable flow of the main stream close to the bank contrasts with the slow and shallow water of the old mill stream The banks are shelved with varying depths of mud and gravels. Spaces are limited due to the bankside trees and vegetation.
