PeakOil 352 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 If the bank was repaired and the crater left in the bottom of the cut it would make a cracking deep water spot to fish to. Good opportunity to walk the stretch and note any usually hidden underwater features Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good opportunity to walk the stretch and note any usually hidden underwater features yeah I thought that, doubt they'll leave the deep bit though. I'm away at the moment but if it's still drained at the weekend I'll be straight there at my usual spots with my camera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
