fishery management trout stream Cambridgeshire

low cost wooden log groynes used here to enhance low flow (due mainly to over abstraction) on straightened section of chalk stream - River Granta, Hildersham, Cambridgeshire. A narrower channel should increase velocity, clearing gravel beds of fine silt, improving breeding sites for wild brown trout.
