Catches from the lower (mainly) and middle Wye continue and we are pleased to report that two day ticket fishers were successful: Rudi Leigart at Courtfield with a fish of 38” and the other by Jon Taylor from Wyesham, a fly caught 26½ lbs. Fish have also been landed at the Golden Mile, Bigsweir and several more from Wyesham.
February is drawing to a close and mid week the river was looking in superb condition at Wyebank. I have started work on pathway repairs. The banks are prone to both erosion and the re-depositing of silt. The latter allows recutting and revetting to be done quite successfully without bringing in new materials. Where possible I am trying to do away with steps and replace them with sloping paths, which are generally much easier to maintain.
