Still no reports of any further catches.  The next day or so from the upper river surely???

From the Hereford Times;

ANGLERS in Herefordshire say they have recorded ‘shocking’ levels of pollution in the River Wye.

Ross-on-Wye Angling Club has been monitoring the water quality of the river over recent months.

And they say their work has revealed shocking levels of phosphates present in sections of the river near Ross.

Of the 34 water samples taken by the club since July 2020, 29 (85.3%), exceeded the maximum permitted level for phosphate content, which is 0.03 parts per million.

The majority did so by a factor of four or five times above this level, and in one case the sample was 10 times higher than permitted.

Only five samples (14.7%) met permitted levels.

Ross Angling Club, which controls more than five miles of prime coarse and game fishing on the river around Ross-on-Wye, says it is deeply concerned by the results.

Ross AC chairman Rob Leather said: “The Wye is one of our most iconic rivers and a designated SAC (Special Area of Conservation), so to record these consistent, and in many cases extreme, levels of phosphate pollution is deeply concerning

This is an urgent issue that affects all users and lovers of the river; not just anglers but rowers, canoeists, swimmers, residents, businesses and everyone who visits the beautiful Wye Valley for leisure and tourism.

“We have already raised this alarming situation as a matter of urgency with the Angling Trust, Natural Resources Wales and our local MP, Jesse Norman, who have each responded and recognised our concerns.”
