I apoligise in advance for the daftness off this question but there is a burn near my home, it used to be polluted years ago but recently the water quality has improved remarkably. So looking at the photo's below, do you it looks "fishy" i.e. is there likely to be trout in there?

It looks vey fishy to me SB.
Spend a few hours sitting and watching for fish rising, if you can get permission give it a go, surprising just what lurks in these small streams, it looks charming.

I stared at the pictures as you requested but I didn't see a single fish rise. As a result of my findings (or lack of), I'll say that there are absolutely no fish in this creek.

We're not in viewpoint with this one CU, now be nice to the new members .

Dummy, do me a favour and dummy-up for a change.

A perfectly civil question CU, let's just give the chap a few sensible answers, and not turn this into a silly slanging match.

Thanks folks and you cu wader :P

Had a walk along it last night (hence the pics) no fish rising as far as I could tell but was only watching for a 5 mins or so, a lot of fly life around the river. The water level is quite a bit higher than normal.

No gravely bits Dummy. The burn flows down a mad made weir just to the right of the second pic and is then re-routed due to a new road, so don't fancy my chances after the weir.

SB, I was just having a bit of fun with you. You know as well as I do, that there isn't a person on this forum that can confirm or deny that fish are present by looking at the pictures. For your sake, I hope there are.

Oh I know CU, just chancing it to see what happens
