Bank clearing has had to be called of due to the river being in flood, and the ground being like a quagmire, banks being sodden and dangerous to go near in case of slipping or collapse.
Fishing on the R. Tone starts on April 1st ( yes i know its April fools day ) but thats when it starts for Brown trout, and June 16th for Grayling, and continues until March 14th the following year, virtually year round river fishing for trout and grayling
