River Wye Every time I go to the Wye I get confused by the continuing reports about the pollution in the river. Can someone tell me another river so full of fish ? Today was not brilliant, apart from one decent roach I have caught a massive amount of dace, small chub. The river is lower than it was this time last year when I had a net full of 6-10oz chub and Barbel plus the every present dace. The water levels are not great this time of the year but if you can find a deep run you will have a field day with a pint of maggots and a tin of luncheon meat. Posted on August 26, 2021 at 9:10 PM

Re: Have the BAA not learnt any lessons? Tracker. How you going to fish off the top deck when there’s another deck in front of you and it’s under water ? Posted on August 04, 2021 at 10:56 AM
Re: Have the BAA not learnt any lessons? I fished Ladyham yesterday (Tuesday 4th August) pegs 3&4 with a friend. Although i agree with some of the comments, you need to take into account two things: A) The severn is very low at the moment - go to Arley, you can physically walk across the river at the beginning of the second meadow, so lets see what happens when there is a bit more water on. B) If they are much lower your going to get soaked every time a boat goes passed and the wake hits the boards. One idiot went passed so fast yesterday that the water lapped almost to the platform. I don't know how you would remove the old posts without some serious machinery, and yes if you go in you would have trouble getting out. At sixty six it worries me, as does getting down the bank. With a hip replacement and footballers knees its difficult, but at least i am able to get to the river where steps and platforms are being provided. Posted on August 04, 2021 at 9:06 AM
