  Chalk streams - Caring for the Chilterns | The Chilterns AONB
You can also discover how chalk streams work, the wealth of wildlife they support, and the heritage associated with them.
Chalk streams are a characteristic and attractive feature of the Chilterns landscape.
The streams are very important for wildlife and support some of our most threatened plants and animals, such as water voles and white-clawed crayfish.

 Independent autumn on the river above salisbury
But the great chalk streams of England are shrunken trickles of their former selves, and anyone who really cares about them will find themselves learning a lot more than traditional fly fishing craft.
Reinforcing a stream bank with willow logs has a doubly beneficial effect, for the trees when alive suck water out of the river at a tremendous rate.
The Wilton club water, on which some restoration was done last year, is the longest stretch of chalk stream left that is managed for wild trout.

 Fishing - Dry Fly School
The chalk streams fishers laid special emphasis upon the virtues of the dry-fly as an antidote to the growing difficulty of angling.
On Itchen, Test, Kennet, and any other typical chalk stream, the angler may accordingly be observed, for hours together, watching for the rise.
The former tax upon the strength may, however, be lessened, though not quite avoided, by the modern practice, of anointing the fly with odourless paraffin, or some other unguent, by a touch of the camel's-hair brush on hackles and wings; a couple of flourishes will then suffice for drying the fly.

 The Civil War in Arkansas - Places | St. Francis
But swollen streams and bad roads that impeded the march prevented the raiders from catching up with the despised Federal commander, who was able to reach the safety of the fortified Union supply base at Cape Girardeau on the Mississippi.
Marmaduke knew that he would have to construct a bridge across the rain-swollen stream if he was to get his command safely back to Arkansas, and there, at the crossing, he would be most vulnerable.
This was Chalk Bluff, and from it the step-rising ground extended about a mile and a half west.

 w212   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Aquifer storage exerts a strong temporal control on chalk stream flow regimes by buffering variability in recharge timing and intensity to produce a stable flow regime with a well-defined annual pattern.
Current conceptual models of chalk catchments assume that the aquifer and stream channel are in good hydraulic contact and that seepage from the aquifer provides spatially consistent inflows to the channel.
These models are derived from research on chalk streams significantly affected by long-term groundwater abstraction such that their flow regimes have been highly modified.

The chalk stream wildlife is still plentiful, as there's an abundance of food.
The trees fall into the river, and what was a chalk stream becomes a marsh - perfect for mosquitoes, but useless for fly-fishing, or indeed much else.
The finest sound on an English chalk stream is the plop of a fish rising to a fly on the surface, which you soon learn to distinguish from the plop of the water rat, or the splash of the duckling diving.

The restoration of degraded streams to address the causes of declining wild brown trout populations can be improved with a better understanding of the relationships between stream biology and habitats.
Studies that match physical and hydraulic characteristics of streams with population dynamics are increasingly important to the improvement of river habitat design.

The chalk stream which runs through the grounds on the National Trust site, Hughenden Manor, is suffering after the most barren winter in the south east since 1976.
The stream, where Benjamin Disraeli once caught a large trout, has suffered in the past from a lack of rainfall.
Hughenden stream fluctuates and that largely depends on the rain water that builds up beneath the surface.

 Three Valleys Water - Water Efficiency - The Chiltern Chalk Stream Society   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Since the middle of the 20th century, increasing abstraction of groundwater from the chalk aquifer to enable the water companies to meet consumer demands has exacerbated seasonal drying out of chalk streams in the Chilterns.
It is now widely recognised that licensed abstraction has, in many cases, exceeded the capacity of the aquifer to provide supplies without degrading surface flows.
Further improvements may yet be needed before flows on these streams are considered to be satisfactory.

ell over a century ago, the classic British chalk streams were fished with live insects on gossamer silk, wind-carried "blow lines".
Today, the typical chalk stream bank has only a low occasional bush behind which the angler must kneel for cover; hence the kneepad.
And since the angler may have to wait hours for a rise to develop, and no tree handy against which to lean his rod, the removable or collapsible butt- spear enables him to stand his rod upright and safe on the turf.
