For anglers and canoeists

Low rivers are hard going for paddlers, with exposed gravel and weirs that are awkward to shoot. Salmon and sea trout usually wait for the next spate to run.

Many angling and canoe clubs check gauges like this one before heading out.

Weather at the gauge

Rain in the last 3 days: 0.8 mm. Rain that falls upstream can take hours or days to show up at a river gauge.
