A total of 29 large woody debris and live hinged willows were added to the channel to encourage diversified flows and cover for Salmonids and other fish species. The 100m2 of gravel cleaning and 50m2 of cover habitat for fry and Parr were carried out. The project has created 3 backwaters at least 0.5m deep with shallow profiled margins, creating a total of 500m2 of new habitat.<br /> <br /> The Salmonid Riffle improvements on the Nadder and Wylye involved 6 sites which were improved by the Partnership as part of this CPAF funding, with a further 3 riffles improved as part of other schemes going ahead in 2015/16. The project enhanced 300m2 of riffle gravel salmonid spawning habitat at 9 sites and created 150m2 of cover habitat for parr and fry downstream of the works.<br /> |Monitoring surveys and results=Fish using new woody habitat at Avon Tyrell. Salmon redds on new riffles and cleaned gravels. Monitoring of juvenile fish using fry bays. Presence of coarse fish fry in fry bays. Presence of waders.

A total of 29 large woody debris and live hinged willows were added to the channel to encourage diversified flows and cover for Salmonids and other fish species. The 100m2 of gravel cleaning and 50m2 of cover habitat for fry and Parr were carried out. The project has created 3 backwaters at least 0.5m deep with shallow profiled margins, creating a total of 500m2 of new habitat.<br /> <br /> The Salmonid Riffle improvements on the Nadder and Wylye involved 6 sites which were improved by the Partnership as part of this CPAF funding, with a further 3 riffles improved as part of other schemes going ahead in 2015/16. The project enhanced 300m2 of riffle gravel salmonid spawning habitat at 9 sites and created 150m2 of cover habitat for parr and fry downstream of the works.<br /> <br /> |Monitoring surveys and results=Fish using new woody habitat at Avon Tyrell. Salmon redds on new riffles and cleaned gravels. Monitoring of juvenile fish using fry bays. Presence of coarse fish fry in fry bays. Presence of waders. Fixed point photography to show the changes made by the project. This monitoring will all help with future delivery of projects and give us demonstration sites we can show to angling clubs and landowners. <br /> The only monitoring that was not able to take place were the red counts as the weather was too severe, making the water too muddy and clouded to be able to undertake surveys.<br /> <br /> |Lessons learn=The collaborative working went very well, especially with building in a monitoring plan through collaboration with other Catchment Partners.<br /> The project gave some good case studies that can be used in conjunction with other angling clubs to get them delivering some of the same types of projects on other reaches in the catchment.<br /> <br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> {{Case study subcatchment}}<br /> {{Site}}<br /> {{Project background}}<br /> {{Motivations}}<br /> {{Measures}}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>
