No new fish reported so far.. Not a lot else to say really/  Situation is grim.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I see a new agreement has been made between owners and canoe bodies for the use of the river between Glasbury and Hay on Wye.  It's been a long time coming with a lot of work put in and compromise by the Fishery owners.
One has to hope this will work but knowing canoeists there are sure to be problems.  There is no way to police it and no penalties for transgression it seems so....????
We shall have to wait and see.

When and where paddlers can access the upper Wye - July 2020

REACH 5 - Glasbury to Hay (8.6kms)
From Glasbury to Hay, canoeing can only take place when the water level is above 0.30m on NRW's gauge at Hay or 0.67m on the Glasbury gauge. Therefore, you may not canoe at any time when the water level is below these heights. Please do not stop anywhere on this stretch other than in an emergency. Please also note that this reach has restrictions on where and when to launch and a time by which paddlers have to be off the water.
  • Departing canoes (including kayaks, paddleboards etc) should not pass downstream of a point 150 metres below Glasbury Bridge before 10.30am and not after 13.30pm. This allows parties to enter the water from the Bont above Glasbury before that time and be ready for the official launch time.
  • Arrival at Hay: All navigators should leave the water before 15.30pm.
