Good conditions remain on the upper and much of the middle river.  Lowest beats may fish this week if no more rain. A little forecast overnight otherwise looks set fair for some time.


Interesting maths forecast of the predicted Wye  catches for the rest of the season based on the 5 year average.   be interesting to see how far out it is, plus or minus!.

Taken from an article promoting Cormorant stew. Think I would pass on that one but p-rhaps the below might bring some satisfaction to a late summer evening barbecue

I think instead, with a bitter nostalgia, of the way cormorants were once used in the Hebrides, and no doubt throughout Scandinavia. I have never seen this done, but I am told that the cormorant is so naturally fatty that if you dry it a little - probably quite a lot - you can use it as flare. Just prop one in the corner of the dining room, set light to it and it will give perfectly good, if rather sooty light, for an entire dinner party. Is that perverted? Or is it somehow intimate with the created world?
