Situated just a couple of hundred yards from the Wye at Glasbury one would have thought that Foyles pub and restaurant (ex Maesllwych Hotel) at Glasbury would have known that the Wye was total catch and release and any sale of fish was therefore unlawful.
Instead they advertised Wye salmon and trout on their restaurant menu much to the consternation of a customer and NRW who tipped off Powys Trading Standards Dept.
The subsequent investigation showed that of course the fish were not from the Wye and they were found guilty and fined, with costs a total of over £7,000.
A costly mistake and one wonders why locals had not told them of their error before it led to the prosecution (Not a customer myself !!!)
