A "snow-melt rise" perhaps?
And fresh snow melt that gives the river a greeny hue is called "snow breen".Time for the ice maiden tubes or a green and yellow devon.

Thanks for that ZH, sure there is a 'proper' name for it though. If there isn't there should be!

The Spey is one of the few rivers in the UK which has an alpine flow regime, with the characteristic rise around mid afternoon and falling again at night. Diurnal I think is the technical name for it.

Good "O" Level Geography skills WG-hadn't thought of that.
A bit like the same as they have in the desert-which'll explain why there's nae fish above the snowline North of Perth?
Maybe just dire without the urinal is the name for it down here then.
