	river capture - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about river capture
		River capture occurs when a stream is carrying out rapid headward erosion (backwards erosion at its source).
		Eventually the stream will cut into the course of a neighbouring river, causing the headwaters of that river to be diverted, or ‘captured’.
		An excellent example is the capture of the River Burn by the River Lyd, Devon, England.

		The aim was simple - run a relatively straightforward local river, and use some of the skills learnt during our recent 3 star training, under the watchful eye of the clubs 2 star and aspiring 3 star coaches.
		The Churnet is roughly 20 feet (6 metres) wide and was at a good medium level, mostly shallow and quite fast running, so paddling not too much of an effort.
		The river soon enters a gorge, of which the finale is the grade 3 drop.

		From late October/early November, when weed beds on the river are gradually dying back, until the end of the season is the best time to enjoy their use.
		With this in mind I had planned during autumn to return to the river Churnet which, being close to my home, can be fished as and when conditions are favourable for the ever challenging roach.
		Now recently the rivers have been going up and down constantly, and understandably this has the fish switching on and off (but mostly off) as the rivers fail to stabilise.

	The Manifold is a sister river to the Dove, which it joins at Ilam
		The Manifold is a sister river to the Dove, rising on Axe Edge and flowing through Staffordshire parallel to the Dove, eventually joining it at Ilam
		Though overshadowed by its more famous neighbour, the Dove, the River Manifold is still a beautiful river, with a lower section which is hardly less spectacular than Dovedale.
		The nearby river Hamps does the same, and the water from both rivers reappears at the 'boil holes' near Ilam Hall.

		Cheek by jowl, the Churnet, the Caldon and the railway press south into the narrowest section of the river valley.
		River level upstream is controlled by a large weir at Consall and the canal is entered through another stop lock although this one is very seldom used, unlike that at Oakmeadow Ford.
		Although the valley is now wide enough to permit the river and canal their own separate beds it is still narrow by normal standards.

	Welcome to the ACA
		There is circumstantial evidence to suggest that the kill resulted from the discharge of lactose from a cheese factory into a tributary of the River Dee, which downstream mixed with sewage effluent, and the combination of the bacterial loading of the sewage effluent and the lactose caused a massive drop in dissolved oxygen levels.
		The River Wenning is a wild brown trout and salmon river and the rainbow trout are, of course, causing problems with the brown trout fry and parr.

		The river Churnet as mentioned last month for example begins life in the Peaks at a high altitude and with a large water catchment has a relatively steep gradient.
		Such rapid rises are unsustainable for the rivers size (in comparison with large rivers such as the Wye and Severn) and it drops back equally quickly, often being well within its banks twenty-four hours later.
		The opposite is true for several streams and small rivers such as the Sow as we move southwards towards Stafford.

		Most river navigations throughout the country were closed or impassable for a number of days and some canals were affected too.
		The River Trent section of the canal, near Alrewas, was closed for much of November owing to high water levels and there was considerable flooding at a number of places on the River Trent downstream of Alrewas.
		Although the legacy of nearly £500,000 left to IWA in 1998 by the late Neil Pitts, was not tied to a specific purpose, the Association's Council thought that such a generous bequest should be marked with a permanent memorial, such as this waterway restoration project.

		Sited close to the head of the Churnet river in North Staffordshire, Leek is built on the slopes and crown of a hill surrounded by some of the finest hill, moor and dale scenery to be found in this part of the North Midlands.
		The village was sufficiently small and insignificant to not warrant its own church until the late 18th century, and it is still the sort of place you barely notice as you pass through on the road south from Warslow.
		It is picturesque both because of its position, for it is the gateway to the Roaches and Hen Cloud as well as being close to Ramshaw Rocks, and because the houses and farms are built of a beautiful local red sandstone.

		The western boundary with Leekfrith is formed by Back brook, which flows south to join the river Churnet, and two arms of Black brook which flow north and west to join the river Dane.
		In 1934 the civil parish was enlarged by the addition of land from neighbouring parishes: a detached portion of Bradnop centred on Hurdlow Farm and covering 385 a.; a detached portion of Leekfrith lying between Hurdlow and Upper Hulme and covering 10 a.; 30 a.
		The former is drained by the Churnet and the latter by the Manifold and a tributary, Oakenclough brook.

		The River Churnet starts life on the moors around the Roaches, flows into and out of Tittesworth reservoir and then goes through Leek.
		The river used to be an important source of energy and there are several water mills along its route, including the famous Brindley Water Mill on Mill Street Leek and the Cheddleton Flint Mill.
		The river flows across the north of the area and is of particular importance in providing water along the Feeder to Rudyard Lake, the water is taken off near the village of Danebridge.

		The fish we remove from Longton Pool will be released into the River Churnet at Consall Forge to replace fish killed during a pollution incident there last summer, when farm slurry entered the River Churnet from Coombes Brook.
		Operations like this fish rescue could not be carried out without the support of anglers who are investing in the future of fishing every time they purchase their rod licences.

	More Salmon for the Churnet! - Fish and Fly - fly fishing news, fly fishing instruction and fly fishing video
		In the past, the Churnet was traditionally a salmon river, but populations of the fish declined as a result of industrial pollution in the 19th century, when it became possibly the worst polluted river in Europe.
		Water quality in the river is vital to the survival of these young fish, and to re-establishing salmon in the river.
		Now it is a beautiful river once more, and it is wonderful to see the salmon back again, bringing new life to the Churnet.

		At this point the Churnet Valley being fairly low and wide, but housing the canal, the river meandering off to my left AND a steam railway.
		I also passed a nice drawbridge on this section and the canal banks were swathed in pretty Himalyan Balsam, which, although a bit of a botanical nightmare because of its phenominal spreading since introduction, IS rather a beautiful sight.
		Coupled with the pleasant roar of the river falling over a weir and the wonderful tree clad valley sides it was a heavenly place, and I was incredibly glad that I’d been foiled twice in my early pub attempts.

		Rocester was a bit disappointing for a town of such antiquity, it being at first a Roman settlement, then an abbey community and even later still quite an industrial front runner having two mills one on the River Dove and one on the River Churnet.
		At Sedsall Farm, which was a scandalously ruinous collection of red brick buildings at the base of the river bluff here, I turned right along a stone track and then at Eaton Dovedale Farm bore right to turn left along another stoney track all the way to Eaton Hall Farm.
