Hot weather continues to tighten its grip and poses a serious threat for the next week at least.

Surely no one is fishing for salmon under these conditions and I see even the coarse fishing magazine Angling Times is critical of WUF for allowing coarse fishing to continue on their waters. Species like chub, carp and barbel are not too put off by high temperatures too much but disolved oxygen content of the water is what matters.  Any coarse fish confined in keepnets must be at serious risk.

Still no news of the source of the Lynfi pollution though a local bio digester may be in the frame as is a local motor cycle compound .  Shouldn't be rocket science these days should it though were are of course relying on NRW!!!

On a colder note - conservators checking winter redds on upper river.
