There does seem to be one angler with a possible British record dace though.
From WUF feedback --always a source of some amusement;;

The Rectory

Fishing:Salmon

No. of Anglers:1

Despite some rain raising the water levels for a while there was a surprising lack of activity across the beat. I saw one salmon splash, but they all must surely be still there and just didn't make an appearance.

On my second trip in a row here, on my first meaningful cast, I caught a 2lb trout... and promptly lost it. Hey ho... I did catch 11 others up to 1/2lb and two dace, I now think they are. The larger one was 1 1/2lb. I'm not up on my coarse fish... this one was yellowish like the belly of a trout but with red fins. A fine fish it was too. The wind was horrendous , blowing all over the place and particularly against every cast I attempted!

11 Trout, 2 Other"

To be fair he did say he is 'not up on his coarse fishing' and it's almost certain it's a couple of chub he caught.  As for the salmon, why would they want to be caught again, and again!

I also saw this and thought it very apt.  Those supposed to be on the anglers side are, as ever, silent on this and many other issues. Not the first time we might be shafted behind the scenes on a canoeing issue.

"As many of you will know the Welsh Assembly Government is desperately trying to get a bill passed which to all intents and purposes is a right to roam. Only a year or two back a very similar effort entitled "Taking Wales Forward" was scuppered but here it is presented again under the title "Taking Forward Wales."
As can be guessed from the title the new presentation is just a re-hash.

I think I've had a communication in one form or another from every fishing organisation in Wales right down to local clubs pleading for support in this matter. Except one!"
