We had a long, heavy shower yesterday late afternoon. I had just got home, so was able to enjoy thinking of my garden getting the benefit. It rained hard enough to come through the canopy of my neighbours' overhanging ash tree. As we had missed the thunderstorms of the previous weekend it was especially good to get this rain.
At Leaside - my kayak club - this morning I found two little fish on the side. I hadn't seen any small fry yet this year, and these dead little fish, presumably swept along by the high water due to the rain and then left stranded when the water levels fell, were the first.
It was nice to see when paddling later this morning some tiny live fish - less than 2 cm long - in the old river below the weir south of Leabridge Road. Further down the river by the exit to the storm drain two fellow paddlers saw a carp "this big". As they weren't fishermen perhaps I can believe it was two foot long!
