656 16 Fish Population Survey Report Fish population summary report River Witham, 2017 This report provides a brief summary of results from recent fish population surveys on the River Witham between Easton Park upstream of Grantham and Boston at the rivers tidal limit . The surveys were carried out to assess the health of the river and enable successful management of our principal fisheries. Aubourn weir rock ramp fish pass (part of several habitat improvements on the upper river). Originating team Lincolnshire & Northamptonshire Analysis & Reporting Team Author(s) Jake Reeds Date February 2018 Summary • Twelve fisheries survey sites were surveyed during 2017 along the Witham above Lincoln. Surveys consisted of a mixture of netting and electric fishing. The wide river downstream of Lincoln was surveyed using hydroacoustic technology during the night when fish are more active. This was supplemented with side scan and multibeam sonar surveys during winter to look at fish aggregations around available habitat. • Nineteen species of fish were recorded and a total of 1740 fish were captured for measurement in the upper river survey sites. • Brown Trout the most widespread species in the upper river followed by chub and pike, being recorded at nine and seven sites respectively. • The river downstream of Lincoln holds good numbers of adult bream and roach but the fish are difficult to find. Site locations: Sites varied between 100 - 200m in length, each site was isolated using stop nets at the upstream and downstream limit. It was then electric fished twice with fish being placed in a recovery tank immediately after capture. All fish are then identified for species, measured to fork length and returned to the river. The river downstream of Lincoln is surveyed using different types of sonar. Split beam sonar is undertaken at night from a boat to look at fish densities over greater distances. Multibeam sonar is used to look at how fish shoal up in winter in locations that offer suitable habitat. Side scan sonar was used to assess large shoals of bream that are present in the river downstream of Bardney. Survey results - summary Fish density for fish greater than 99mm in length (fish/100mˉ²) from the survey sites undertaken is shown below. Fish lengths (mm) for all sizes are given to indicate the overall size range found at the site.

The potential voltage difference during electric fishing over small fish can be minor, meaning they are not necessarily captured when fishing. Due to the mesh size used in fish capture they can sometimes evade being picked up in a survey. Density estimates are configured using fish above 99mm in length, this gives more accurate results when looking over long term trends. The density results show a textbook shift in the fish population as the survey sites move downstream. Sites from Easton Park down to Sleeper Bridge are dominated by brown trout, the river being shallower, faster flowing with a greater habitat diversity. Coarse fish populations increase as the river becomes more traditionally lowland, with slower velocities, increased width and depth and higher levels of nutrient rich sediment. Roach numbers increase in the lower sites with the population at Bracebridge Bridge being dominated by them. Common bream and tench are all present in the sites further down towards Lincoln in small numbers but are underrepresented due to their transient shoaling nature which makes them more difficult to locate in standard surveys. Trout density was highest at Paper Mills just upstream of Grantham, traditionally this has been a good survey site with the fish seeming to prefer the fast flowing water as the river comes over the weir upstream. A good range of adult and juvenile trout were caught at the site showing available habitat is present for a diverse age structure. Great Ponton produced a good catch of trout, over 20 adult brown trout were captured in the length of just over 100m, numbers here and in sections downstream may have been influenced by past stockings. The sites at Syston and Sleeper Bridge continue to produce good density figures with adult fish to 40cm present at both. Easton Park was affected by a pollution event in April 2012, the population present there now contains adult trout that are of spawning size and age. Densities at the site now are on average with historical data, this would suggest that the section has recovered to some extent. Grayling start to appear in the river around Syston and are present in good numbers down to the Long Bennington area but are not picked up at Claypole or Beckingham. The largest grayling caught was at Syston being almost 30cm in length. Upper River length frequency results: The figures below are combined numbers of fish per species from across all survey sites graphically representing how many fish are present in a particular size range. This allows for a visual overview of the age structure and population size throughout the upper Witham.

The site in the Cringle Brook at Great Ponton provides most of fish between 65 - 95mm indicating that the juveniles are using it as shelter habitat before they become large enough to move out downstream into the main river. It is likely the Cringle Brook is an important spawning location for the wild trout in the river, the site there consistently produces baby trout when electric fished. Future work could look into winter redd counting surveys looking at spatial and numerical locations between the main river and the brook. Few fish were caught between the 110 - 140mm size ranges which could indicate a weak year in recruitment a couple of years ago. Numbers increase as the fish become larger and more mature but past stockings may be affecting the distribution, there will be wild fish in the age structure within the adult population that will help aid natural recruitment. Hydrology and habitat will be a key factor in enabling a healthy trout population in the river, the improvements made to the river led by the local Fisheries, Biodiversity and Geomorphological team will go some way to address this and is illustrated later in the report.

Reference: No Summary: To update members on waterways projects in development and delivery, placing them in context with the Fens Waterways Link and then looking at proposed future projects too. Actions Required: Members are asked to: 1. Note the progress to date of the waterways programme and the impact it has had on the economic prosperity of the county 2. Comment on the projects that are currently being developed 3. Comment on the use of the remaining waterways capital budget and the ongoing role of the County Coucnil in relation to the Fens Waterways Link 1. Background Lincolnshire Waterways Partnership In 2000, the county council and partners undertook a review into the opportunities for using tourism to drive economic growth. The review identified three main priorities: Historic Lincoln, destination management system, and Lincolnshire Waterways. In order to deliver the waterways programme, the Lincolnshire Waterways Partnership (LWP) was established. The partnership is co-ordinated by the county council and also includes the Environment Agency and British Waterways. The framework for the LWP comprises eight objectives: Improving the existing resource Extending the network Developing Regional Links Page 1 Developing Recreational Use of the Network Promoting the Waterways Urban and Rural Regeneration Engaging with Local Communities Developing the Partnership As well as delivering locally focused schemes, the main challenge for the LWP is to support the delivery of the Fens Waterways Link which will connect Lincolnshire’s waterways with those in the fens through the creation of a navigable link between Boston and Ely.

  • River Witham the Source of the 8Th Longest River Wholly in England Is
    River Witham The source of the 8th longest river wholly in England is just outside the county, Lincolnshire, through which it follows almost all of a 132km course to the sea, which is shown on the map which accompanies Table Wi1 at the end of the document. Three kilometres west of the village of South Witham, on a minor road called Fosse Lane, a sign points west over a stile to a nature reserve. There, the borders of 3 counties, Lincolnshire, Rutland and Leicestershire meet. The reserve is called Cribb’s Meadow, named for a famous prize fighter of the early 19th century; at first sight a bizarre choice at such a location, though there is a rational explanation. It was known as Thistleton Gap when Tom Cribb had a victory here in a world championship boxing match against an American, Tom Molineaux, on 28th September 1811; presumably it was the only time he was near the place, as he was a Bristolian who lived much of his life in London. The organisers of bare-knuckle fights favoured venues at such meeting points of counties, which were distant from centres of population; they aimed to confuse Justices of the Peace who had a duty to interrupt the illegal contests. Even if the responsible Justices managed to attend and intervene, a contest might be restarted nearby, by slipping over the border into a different jurisdiction. In this fight, which bore little resemblance to the largely sanitised boxing matches of today, it is certain that heavy blows were landed, blood was drawn, and money changed hands, before Cribb won in 11 rounds; a relatively short fight, as it had taken him over 30 rounds to beat the same opponent at the end of the previous year to win his title.

  • Advisory Visit River Witham, Marston, Lincolnshire April 2015
    Advisory Visit River Witham, Marston, Lincolnshire April 2015 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Witham, Marston, Lincolnshire on 16th April, 2014. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Ken Ordish (landowner representative) and Matthew Parr (Environment Agency Fisheries Technical Officer). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The section of river visited is located just to the east of the village of Marston, about 6km north of Grantham, Lincolnshire, at Mill Farm (National Grid Reference SK9015543020). Approximately 1 km of river was inspected, with the weir at Mill Farm in the middle of the reach. The upper Witham flows off oolitic limestone geology in the Lincolnshire and Rutland Limestone Natural Area (www.naturalareas.naturalengland.org.uk/Science/natural/profiles%5CnaProfile38.pdf), hence is a calcium-rich, lowland river. The Witham around Grantham supports a trout fishery and many sections are controlled and managed by Grantham Angling Association Fly Fishing Section (GAAFFS). The reach immediately upstream of the section visited is controlled by GAAFFS. Over recent centuries, and particularly the last 100 years, the once naturally meandering river channel of the Witham has been straightened, deepened, widened, impounded and embanked as part of fluvial engineering schemes designed to reduce flood risk and improve land drainage.

Grantham Angling Association Fly Fishing Section (GAAFFS) assisted with site selection and landowner negotiations. © Steve Brayshaw © Steve Summary of Techniques: Channel narrowing and flow deflection using woody debris augmented by willow layering; ford refurbishment and riverside fencing to reduce sediment inputs. Location Map © Crown Copyright 2013. OS Licence number 100026380. Background The Upper River Witham rises west of South Witham and flows for more than 65 km northwards through Colsterworth, Great Ponton, Grantham, Long Bennington, Bassingham and North Hykeham towards Lincoln. More than 165 km of river and tributary streams drain the c573 km2 catchment. The landscape of the catchment is varied in character, ranging from the livestock-dominated limestone valleys upstream from Grantham, through the mixed farming terrain of the middle reaches, to the flat-lying arable farmlands downstream from Long Bennington. Over recent centuries, and particularly the last 100 years, the once naturally meandering river channels have been straightened, deepened, widened, impounded and embanked to reduce flood risk and improve land drainage. These modifications, together with catchment land management practices, have contributed to a decline in river corridor habitat quality.
