Two fish from Wyesham this morning 17 and 14lbs Malcolm Bastard on Fly.
Two reported from Symonds Yat on Sunday Andrew Allsop 14 and 19lbs spinning.
12lb fly caught fish from Upper Bigswiers Little Run to Dennis Robinson
Two more from Wyesham 19lbs to Tony benson fly and 18lbs to george adams on F/C
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The WUF director answered a post on the Fly fishing forum when someone was enquiring where to fish.
Having already mentioned rwga as 'The Gestapo' he follows up with this below. Do you reckon he has a conspiracy complex?
"You are absolutely right to look at Wales as a possibility and you could do no better than give the Wye ago (please see
The Booking Office - The Wye and Usk Foundation for details) rumours that the river is in the hands of of a communist putsch are quite untrue, though you might not believe it looking at other threads on FFF.
We welcome all fishers, whatever their rank, BTW NK"
IN ANY CASE THE WORD ON THE RIVER BANK IS THAT THE DIRECTOR WILL BE LEAVING WUF THIS MONTH, PROBABLY ANNOUNCED AT THE RIVER TRUST CONFERENCE IN MAY IN HAY ON WYE. Possibly to take up a post with the aforementioned Rivers trusts.
Seems the Wye Salmon Owners Association is also now defunct but may reassemble under a new banner. If I am wrong I'm sure someone will soon tell me.

Campaign to
crackdown on illegal sea fishing
The Angling
Trust has launched a new campaign to tackle the combined threats to sea
fish and fishing of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
IUU fishing
contributes to overfishing, undermines attempts to manage publicly-owned
fish stocks sustainably, threatens the wider marine environment and
damages livelihoods and businesses reliant on well-managed fish stocks.

Tributes to
Angling Trust Ambassador Jan Porter
All at the
Angling Trust was sad to hear that Jan Porter, one of angling's most
respected personalities, had passed away at the age of 60.
Jan, an
ambassador not only for the Angling Trust but for the sport itself,
always had a smile on his face and was an inspiration for thousands of
anglers who enjoyed his TV and written work over four decades.

Shimna
settlement may signal end of ‘serial’ pollutions
Fish Legal
has obtained a £4,000 settlement for the Shimna Angling Club following a
series of pollution events – which have now hopefully come to an end – on
one of Northern Ireland’s most significant sea trout fisheries, the River
Shimna.
The club
intends to use the settlement money for salmon and sea trout habitat
improvements following recommendations by the Wild Trout Trust.

'Trusting'
you are in good health...
Many
fishing clubs are unincorporated associations, rather than limited companies,
and have their fishing rights or land held by trustees on the club’s
behalf. In the vast majority of cases these trustees have very little to
do with either the property or the club on a regular basis.
As a spring
resolution, Fish Legal are suggesting that clubs get in touch with their
trustees, tell them that you are grateful for their services and more
importantly check that they are in good health and happy to carry on with
their role. This simple move can help prevent real difficulties, such as
a trustee being too infirm to act or being untraceable for any number of
reasons. A brand new factsheet on trusts and trustees is available for
Fish Legal members.
