The remains of Old Copley Bridge
The floods of boxing day 2015 caused significant damage to the bridge at Copley

The remains of an old weir now provide much structure and well paced runs. Β Jonathan is seen here fishing with a french nymph leader and indicator.

Old Copley Bridge is falling down
Rubble still falling from the damaged bridge.
I’ve been fishing down at Copley recently. They are now starting work on repairing the bridge. The floods and the collapsed bridge don’t appear to have changed the river too much in that area and the fish are still there. Thank goodness π
