If you ever wanted to see the full power of a full blooded Wye spate now is your chance.  The river on the upper Erwood/Builth wells areasis currently at 4.00 meters on the gauges and it's still raining with a serious risk of flooding/ That includes Irfon and Ithon too with similar levels.
Thankfully fish have not spawned yet otherwise, as in the past, it can almost wipe out a year class of juveniles.
If you didn't believe in redd washout well you would now.
If you didn't believe is sewage system clear outs believe it now.
I you didn't believe in farm or riverside property dumping, believe it now
And if you believe in being able to manage catchment siltation well just take a look at how puny your efforts are.
As for plastics washed out to seea -don't even go there.

Goodbye to 2018   A year best forgotten
Even a fish from Wyesham today.!!

Below Hay Bridge this morning.  River is very wide here,  Its now in the fields in more contained locations
