One again every fish is deemed as precious, even on the Wye.  Why I wonder wouldn't he press for anglers not to fish for stale fish at this time of year especially into \October.  He could of course suspend fishing on his own beat during the October period but I bet he won't.  Lip service onbly-numbers matter!


Dr Stephen Marsh-Smith, Chief Executive of Afonydd Cymru, (the association of rivers trusts in Wales) added:

“It’s important to understand that this finding by NRW will not immediately impact on returning salmon and sea trout numbers but will be evident in two to four years’ time.

” It is crucial that NRW, the Rivers Trusts and Welsh Government get together to press forward a recovery programme for this valuable resource as well as a full investigation into the cause and effects.” 

“In the meantime, it is vital that every salmon and sea trout is left to spawn this year and of course in the coming years. We are therefore appealing to anglers to build on their excellent response to earlier appeals, and ensure that they release all of their fish as well as strongly encouraging others to do the same.”
