		The source of the Esk is upstream of Westerdale, where a series of becks known as the Esklets merge to form the River Esk.
		At this point the river is approximately 15m wide, and in normal summer flows the depths vary between 20cm and 30cm.

		Fish do not normally take well on a rising river, they may take well during the first few inches of a rising water whilst it is still clear but usually as soon as the water starts to colour they will stop biting and will remain difficult until the river level stablises.
		Scottish river levels at the under noted locations of particular interest to anglers are obtained from SEPA, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency and these show show the change in river level over the last two to three days.
		An increase in river level is normally associated with rainfall in the catchments, however certain sites are subject to artificial control by, for instance, hydro power stations that may artificially influence the level of the river (see the Glass at Kerrow Wood).

		I am surprised that the expression "Border rivers" should be confined to the Rivers Tweed and Esk, because the Solway is a Border river for a few miles.
		I believe that, strictly speaking, the Esk should be referred to as the South Esk, because there is the River Esk at Musselburgh.
		I assure her that, on the face of the amendments, those who are involved in the Esk fishery feel that the amendments meet their original concerns.
