Small slug of water now reached the lower river.  Perhaps a fish this weekend from the lower beats below Monmouth?    Be interesting to see if anything new is coming in.   Upriver levels have dropped away quickly.



Another project with 'instant' good news.   6 salmon'fry' more trout and bullheads.  Inevitable really.

Good News from the River Elan

The Wye and Usk Foundation

After a desperate summer for the rivers, there is some good news to report from our Gravelling the Elan System (GES) project. This week, electrofishing surveys confirmed that for the first time since monitoring started in 1972 (and possibly well before), salmon and trout have successfully spawned in the upper section of the river below the dams.
