River levels  starting to fall off somewhat and starting to clear on the upper river where it's fishable above the Ithon though there is the hint of further rain in the upper catchment

Lower and middle beats will have to wait some time for sure before they can fish again.

Makes one wonder why , if they can curtail  anglers and Estuary netting of various sorts why they can't simply ban the taking of elvers which they say are endangered.  Not termed another 'heritage' fishery is it????
