Wye & Usk Foundation News Update
11th February 2014

Trout fishing is also dependent on weather and we will keep you posted nearer the start date. Winter coarse fishing has, of course, been almost impossible in the recent floods and considering the forecast, it may be a while longer before it is safe to venture out.
All the best from WUF. |
