Looking forward to seeing some of you on the bank at a Stacklands next week.
You should be aware that the river is in very bad shape. An algae bloom has covered everything from Builth to Chepstow, oxygen levels are very low as is the river itself.
I would highly recommend washing all kit after fishing and keeping hand sanitizer handy. If you are lucky enough to catch anything try and get it back into the water as quickly as possible and take your time to rest and recover fish.

Re: The Wye
It sounds like it shouldn't be fished at all if its in that state for fish welfare.

Re: The Wye
Hopefully this rain will help, but agree, if it still is a problem we should consider suspending fishing.

Re: The Wye
Above my pay grade that decision!
As it stands both Hereford District Angling Association and Ross Anglers water are still open.
BAA took a lead from both of those clubs in terms of shutting the river during the heatwave in 2018.
The rain has help a little, just exercise some caution.
