All main roads in Dumfries and Galloway have been reported as being clear but some local routes remain closed. The usual range of the Nith at Greensands is between 0.04m and 2.17m. It has been between these levels for at least 150 days in the past year. Downstream from Hallhills. It holds a good head of natural Brown Trout and is also an excellent Salmon river, particularly after a flood.
Just had 5 days wilding in the area, some exceptionally high tides this last 2 days the River Nith has flooded a lot of surrounding land, the very popular Glencaple Quay used by many for overnighting was under a couple of inches at high tide yesterday but just look at it today an even higher tide and gale force SW winds have really pushed the water up. It has been between these levels for 90% of the time since monitoring began.
