	River Frome, Dorset - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The River Frome (pronounced [fruːm]) is a river in Dorset in the south of England.
		East of Dorchester the river runs through unresistant sands, clays and gravels, which would have originally been capped by chalk which is still extant in the Dorset Downs to the north and Purbeck Hills to the south.
		The Frome has suffered a dramatic decline in the run of salmon in recent years.

	Salmon Genetics in the River Frome
		Adult Atlantic salmon have been counted automatically on the Dorset Frome for the last 25 years, resulting in the longest and most comprehensive dataset for any English river.
		The dramatic decline in numbers seen is an international phenomenon and although the main problem is likely to be marine (resulting in a significant decrease in length of grilse returning to the river) there are many riverine factors which affect salmon numbers.
		At CEH Dorset, we are investigating the breeding structure of adult fish in the river.

	DWT Rivers & Wetlands
		Rivers left to their own devices force their way through the countryside creating oxbow lakes, reedbeds, backwaters, washlands and supporting fen and bogs.
		There continues to be a lot of demand on rivers to control floods, to discharge into, to maintain drained land and to abstract water for domestic, industrial and agricultural use.
		The River Frome supports one of the largest populations of Water Voles in the Country and the Upper stretches of the river support rare Fen plant and invertebrate communities.

	River water quality in the South West
		Chemical river water quality is consistently excellent in Dorset, with over 99% (99.09%) of rivers falling in the good or fair categories, a general increase of 2% (1.92%) since 1990.
		The Bristol Living Rivers Project is a strategic urban water partnership promotes and facilitates a framework within which rivers may be more sustainably managed, developed and used to maximise their environmental, social and economic benefits for the people of Bristol.
		The draft results indicate that many rivers in England and Wales may be at risk of failing to meet the potentially tighter requirements of the WFD by the deadline of 2015.

	Fishing in Dorset
		On the valley floor, six shimmering freshwater trout lakes are fed by the River Lym.
		The three lakes, surrounded by beautiful, peaceful countryside and situated alongside the River Frome, are fed by half a million gallons of chalk spring water daily and give excellent and varied angling opportunities.
		A prolific North Dorset venue comprising four lakes stocked with a variety of sizes and species of fish, the predominant species being mirror and common carp but also contains a good head of roach, rudd, gudgeon, with some ide, barbel and tench.The lakes are set in peaceful surroundings with unspoilt views across adjoining countryside.

	Frome 2
		As has been said, Frome was already a prosperous town at the time of Domesday, when there were only a few towns in the whole of England, prosperous or otherwise.
		When steam power replaced water, Frome wasn't well-placed to acquire the coal needed to fire the furnaces (coal was mined at Radstock, only a few miles away, but it would have to be carried by pack horse).
		That said, the decline in Frome's wool industry was a slow one, and might have been even slower if the Frome clothiers had been just a little less conservative (one mill produced nothing but strong fl cloth for the best part of a hundred years).

		The Dorset Downs are an area of Chalk downland in the centre of the county Dorset in south west England.
		The Dorset Downs are bounded on the north, along the steep scarp face, by the Blackmore Vale, a large clay and limestone valley.
		The hills dip gently south down to the River Frome at Dorchester, south of which is a narrow band of Purbeck Limestone along the English Channel coast.

	Genealogy and Dorset, England
		While Dorset may lack the major neolithic and early bronze age structures such as Stonehenge and Avebury in its neighbour Wiltshire, it does have long barrows, which reveal that it was certainly occupied in neolithic times by people sufficiently prosperous to build such structures.
		Dorset was, however, one of the main centres of activity of the Swing rioters of the 19th century, as well as home to the Tolpuddle Martyrs, two instances of the struggle by agricultural labourers to survive in conditions of economic difficulty.

	Centre for Ecology and Hydrology: Long term chemical monitoring of the River Frome, Dorset (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		At 10 year intervals, the whole of the River Frome catchment is intensively monitored (21 sites), which has allowed rates of nutrient retention (due to plant / sediment uptake) and remobilisation to be determined through an 18 month period (Bowes et al 2005).
		Current research is focussed on determining the relative contribution of diffuse and sewage input to the total nutrient load exported from the river.
		CEH staff from Dorset and Wallingford continue to use the facilities at East Stoke for research in river processes.

		As with many places in Dorset, the parish contains some ancient earthworks, barrows, tumuli etc. Of the ancient remains discovered, several urns of Samian ware and bones of animals were found in a field to the north of Stafford Farmhouse on a hill.
		It was the principal manor at Frome Billet alias Frome Everard, known as Everard's Manor, through which family it passed for several generations until after the dissolution when it was granted to Edward Neville.
		Firefighters used water from the nearby river to douse the flames and although the building is now a ruin, the owners of the pub have said it will be rebuilt.

	River Frome Improvement Appeal - History of the River Frome
		The Frome’s high quality chalkstream water has resulted in world famous brown trout fishing and at one time the river also held the British sea trout record.
		Along its length, the main river is joined by several important tributaries above Dorchester, such as the Wraxall Brook, the river Hooke, the Sydling Water and the river Cerne.
		Analysis, by the Centre of Ecology and Hydrology (C.E.H) of tagged smolts (young salmon migrating to sea) indicates that survival of salmon parr (baby salmon in the river) is less than 30% in the main stem of the middle river and as much as 80% in upper river tributaries.

	Welcome to the Wessex Water website
		The Frome has seen a huge drop in the numbers of salmon running the river in the past 25 years.
		Richard Slocock, chairman of the Frome, Piddle and West Dorset Fishery Association said: âSalmon and sea trout stocks on the river Frome have been in serious decline for the past 20 years.
		âIn 1998 the river Frome (Dorset) Salmon Action Plan identified the weir at Loudâs Mill in Dorchester and the Bindon Mill Hatches in Wool as the two major obstacles hindering the upstream migration of salmon.

	Upstream Migration of Salmon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Electronic fish counters, which have been installed in about 25 rivers in England and Wales, show that, when summers are dry, salmon tend to delay their migration; that is, a smaller percentage move upstream in mid-summer.
		Thus, salmon catches in many rivers in the UK declined in the 1970s and then recovered in the late 1980s and early 1990's for reasons related to conditions at sea.
		However, this river is fed by groundwater and there is no consistent relationship between the numbers of fish moving upstream and the flow rate in early summer.

	River Stour - Fishing in Wessex
		The river Stour starts notably as a fishing river from just North of Gillingham in Dorset, and flows on a fairly southerly course through North-West Dorset to the coast at Christchurch Harbour where it combines with the Hampshire Avon in the harbour mouth.
		The river is quite different to fish, than the Avon being generally slower and less deep.
		The river supports a wide range of fish from excellent barbel, bream and chub in the lower stretches, to mullet near the harbour.

		Recall that in England essentially all river water (at least) is private, and buying a fishing license does not give you a right to fish.
		The Frome is a classic chalk stream, running through wet meadows, with barbed wire fences to keep the cows off most of the bank.
		The second weekend, I had the opportunity to fish the River Frome again, this time on the waters of the Dorchester Fishing Club through the good auspices of the Honorary Secretary, Mr John Grindle.
