Well we did get some rain in the end.  A reasonable spate of up to 2 feet on its way down with water from both Irfon and Ithon which should hopefully start some fish movement upriver  Everyone still tightlipped as to what may have been caught downriver recently.  Even WUF wont tell us but do they even know I wonder?

From Fish Legal

Fish Legal is appealing a decision by the High Court in Cardiff on 22 August to refuse permission for Fish Legal to proceed with a challenge to Powys County Council decision to grant planning permission to double the size of an industrial poultry unit near Builth Wells in the River Wye catchment from 90,000 birds to 180,000. Fish Legal argued that the Council had failed to properly consider what will happen to tonnes of additional poultry manure that will be spread as digestate on land in the River Wye catchment. 1,100 tonnes of manure per year, plus dirty waters generated by two new intensive poultry units will be exported off-site to an anaerobic digester facility sited near the River Llynfi, an SSSI and a component of the River Wye Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The Llynfi is one of the tributaries of the Wye that is failing its phosphate target.
