Thanks Paul,

'Never in the field of fishery finance has so much been spent by so few to so little effect'... Kinda Tickity Boo quote that...

The Jury is out on the WUF..... i'm not sure personally but kinda respect them.... and there wont be many in this country who have spent more time fishing the Wye than i have for the last ten years. One thing has happened and that's the Coarse Angling Clubs are getting closer together and realise they need a voice on...

A real humdinger of a thread on a fly forum about the Usk and Wye Foundation, big-money grants and their meagre returns, local fishers and inhabitants v. sundry, possibly cliquey, river mending and improving Trusts and Orgs and their sundry spin-off ventures and piggy-backers like Fly and Coarse Fishing Guides, and much much else. I am posting a link to page 9 of the thread (the last page, so far); it kicked off on around page 5 from the fifteen minutes that I spent with it.

I used to notice the same thing when I was training for the raft race Rob and they were always big fish.

I found one washed up on a beach just above the bunch of carrots which I took with the intention of cleaning the scull and pharangial, (spelling), teeth but It fell into the river again without me noticing somewhere downstream.

That one was at least a six and had no visible sign of damage, in fact, apart from it being dead it was fin perfect and with no smell or signs...

Noticed a few dead chub floating about on three differenrt stretches over the passed couple of weeks, most strange. I have noticed this over a few years at this time of year, wonder why?. I weighed one huge looking fish, not bloated up,very smelly, no sign of hook marks, 6.10. I cut them up chuck em in for the pike, waste not want not. Shame though , something about this time of year and dead chub, bet they dont all float up and some just rot on the bottom.

Just returned from a quite remarkable day on your beautiful river. Hooked 29 barbel, landed 23 one of which was foul hooked . River in A1 condition, nice tinge of colour and up about 2'. No massive fish, largest two were 8lb 13oz averaging around 7lb 4oz - 7lb 8oz. Soaked pellet feeder with either pellet or boilie on the hook. A magical day in such wonderful surroundings.

this is the upper wye near Powys. whilst not good for immediate locality will quickly dissipate in a fast winter river before getting anywhere near the middle reaches.
