Very low flow filling main banks of river at testing site. Silting up near drain with sand/silt and twigs. So water sample is from very shallow water that may be atypical of main river flow. Caught a fish and a few small bits and pieces in the otherwise fairly clear water sample. Common reeds growing up in area making it difficult to get a clear throw of the bucket.
