What's the word on water in the Canal from Lock 5 down past Fletchers? Clear? Soupy? somewhat murky in between?

Anyone been out along the Canal above Pennyfield towards Violettes? There's usually water from Pennyfield up to Blockhouse Point - How's that water for clarity?

Thanks.

Call Binsted up at Fletcher’s. The canal was drained as of last week. Bone dry in Georgetown.

Skunked. Walked the towpath and fished the canal from Pennyfield Lock up to Blockhouse Point (halfway to Violettes Lock) Murky water in canal. Just downstream of the gas pipeline right-of-way, I spotted a 20 inch or so length snakehead. I'd heard Channa argus were in there, but this is first time I've seen one in the canal.
