The flow of the channel is also greatly improved and the issues of slow velocities and silting-up of the channel are no longer present. 15801 Deflectors used to improve the flow of the river 2014-03-01Z 2456717.5 deflectors2.jpg 2012-05-01Z 2456048.5 Complete This project was undertaken by the Guash Fishing Club following a report from the Wild Trout Trust. The project has been split into two phases which concentrated on a stretch of the the River Guash between Tolethorpe and Ryhall Rutland. Issues with the stretch included slow velocities, partially blocked channels and a lack of light. The aims and objectives of the project were: * To allow more light in. * Remove fallen trees which were obstructing the flow. * Improve the general flow of the water. * Create a better environment for fish spawning. To succeed in reaching these aims and objectives cheap but effective measures were used. The tree canopy was opened up to allow more light into the channel and large branches which were partially blocking the flow were removed. To improve the flow of the water, wooden deflectors were created to narrow the channel and generate more varied flows for fish. As well as this, gravel and silts were deposited to create a better environment for fish spawning.
