Hi Scrambledsignals,
That’s a journey to the Wye for you!
I’ve been a Wye angler since a kid, presently a rod at Whitney Court. Feel free to pm me should you want to compare notes..
The river is but a shadow of its former self and I well remember an incident that didn’t help and raised my hackles…..
I get on ok with canoeists, always polite exchanges whilst we share the river. But, one day I was incensed. A joker tried to pass under an overhanging tree and fell into the river. Shallow, he was in no danger. He then proceeded to haul the canoe to the bank and tip it over so water and all came out. He then put everything back in BUT LEFT HIS LITTER AND PLASTIC BAGS ON THE BANK.
To say the least a right row followed and I would have happily thrown him back in.
So little environment respect.
