The aim of this project is to create a more dynamic flow to prevent the channel silted and uncover more of the base of the dynamic shingle stream, thus increasing potential spawning grounds for the Trout.
We have the Wild trout trust and the EA putting in 3 natural deflectors to capture silt. By testing the deflectors in 3 locations we will be able to establish if there is enough flow to enable them to work in the deep, slow-flowing channel with potential to replicate further along the Roding if their effectiveness is established.
