Well the rain did arrive, more in some places than others.  Nevertheless a decent spate on the upper river with around a metre of water, so a decent spate this time.   What will there be to take advantage of the rise other than older fish mov.ing around a little.?  Will there be any grilse /  Questions hopefully to be answered shortly.
River is of course badly coloured,

Saw this on the WUF website ???

In 2019, the Foundation will begin a joint venture with CABI to trial the rust at two locations in the Wye catchment. The initiative is part of our “Restoring Our Amazing River” project, funded by DEFRA’s Water Environment Grant


I thought  they had been restoring our river for the past 20 years or so -oh its the last bit - a grant - silly me.
