      Thanks, it was easy enough to get the fish in but, with the wash over the Croy, that last bit was tricky!

    Thought wye was pollouted ?

      Yes it is, sadly. But the Salmon (and almost all other species of fish) seem to manage all right; as they don't have much choice really!
      It's just about everything else that lives in and around the river that suffers. The aquatic invertebrates are hit by the amount of filth covering the gravel beds, the Swans staple food supply of aquatic weed is supressed by the algae blooms, (the number of birds on this 2 mile stretch went from 83 to 3 in one season and all the cygnets died as they cannot digest anything else), and it's advisable to wash your hands before eating or drinking; but people still swim and paddle in it!
      Having said that, the pollution effect is most noticeable during the summer months whereas it's in less clement weather conditions that we get the surface water run-off that turns the river chocolate brown. The feeder streams, Ithon, Lugg and Monnow being the worst culprits. Then we have the biggest polluter of them all, the dumping of raw sewage. And this problem could be easily solved by upgrading and improving the system but this would mean spending a lot of money. Re-nationalising the Water Industry may be an option as we pay for it anyway?
      A long-winded reply perhaps but I hope it answers your, very relevant, question.
      Should you wish to know more or even get involved, then you could join the Wye Salmon Association....
