The average depth is about 1.25 metres in the boat channel although some stretches are deeper with the marginal shelves being considerably shallower.
During the summer months there is a relatively high level of leisure boat traffic which can disturb the water, however when the boat traffic quietens down many anglers enjoy the good stocks of Roach, Perch, Bream, Carp and Gudgeon, During 2007 Chub to 6lb and Rudd to 2lb 8oz have been caught on some sections

The milder spells of weather during the winter months can provide double figure bags of Roach, as well as good Bream and Perch, whilst The carp angler will find that the carp are active at any time of the season.
