Does this show that the Leven is relatively unpolluted, or full of fish, or both? :-)

Joe, Son of the Rock club has replied to Coldwaterjohn club
I hope you are correct on both counts, Coldwaterjohn. One thing I can tell you about the River Leven at this time of year, is that it is renowned for its cold water, John. Thanks for your visit and very kind comment. All the best for 2012. Cheers, Joe
