A further drop in levels overnight should give more scope for more beats.  The Irfon is still  carrying its black water into the Wye.  It looked awful yesterday. Dark with about a foot visibility and nasty foam on the surface.  Not sure quite what they have done to this river after their 'project' in the headwaters but one has to fear for is present condition in my opinion.

.

This was the river yesterday -black as hell.

TODAY.
Two fish from the Rectory and bridge Pool 8 and 10lbs to Robert Wheatcroft

Sometimes you get an entertaining post on the fishing forums. Below is one.   A Scotsman who doesn't mince his words in reply to a question where someone was seen taking a salmon,.He has point I reckon.

"Personally I would shake the guys hand in standing up against a dictatorship wee reptile cow Nicola Sturgeon and her crap government who took away the rights of a working man to take a fish for the pot on mostly working men's rivers .

Depriving families up and down the country of the taste of wild Scottish salmon . Forcing families to eat her sanctioned Norwegian shite kiddy on salmon ? Its her government that is wasting wild fish stocks - not fishermen !!!!!!!!

Whilst not condoning a fisherman who butchers every single fish he catches or fisherman who takes more than he ever needs for the sake of it .........

I hope every normal sane fisherman out there sticks the centre finger up to her and this category 3 madness and chokes her shitey courts up with crap and takes one salmon a year for his table .

Whit is she actually going to do really ? Dish out a 50 quid fine or something ? Big deal ? The salmon would taste even better in my opinion ".
