I've just joined the Wye Salmon Association for £10! It's a no brainer!

Enjoyable trip but no salmon!

Just returned from 3 days on the river! Knackered now - fished Crewel Pool really hard but to no avail! Really enjoyed myself strangely. When the day of reckoning comes I will really miss fishing the Towy - in fact I'm very very sad about the state of the river I love so much. It's almost like the feeling of bereavement!

The feeling of casting a line across Crewel Pool with anticipation of getting a salmon take is hard to explain for me. All the time I was fishing I really believed I would get a salmon. The water was perfect for Crewel! A hint of colour and 1.5 or 1.6 on the guage! 4 or 5 sea trout were showing over the days I was there. Kingfishers were common to see as well as a solitary Sandpiper! I saw 2 other anglers - 1 spinning down the bottom having walked over Crewel - when I shouted to him asking if he had caught anything all he did was hold his hands out about 5ft apart! The other was a guy fly fishing called Kerry who stayed for only an hour or so and said he'd caught nothing all season!

The Wye Salmon Association has declared an EMERGENCY - TIME FOR ACTION!

WE NEED TO DO THE SAME!
