Hodgson said anglers knew the behaviour of the river better than most people. “While not all anglers have a tertiary science, environmental or engineering degree, expert anglers have a Ph.D. with honours in angling. To be an expert angler, you need to understand: river morphology, the ecology of the river, river dynamics and most importantly be able to spot and adapt to changes in the river to catch fish.” He said anglers had recently observed the river flat lining at the mouth. “This means that the river flow now no longer rises because of the rainfall events, as it used to. Often it makes no meaningful difference to the flows at the mouth after a rain event,” he said.
