Marteg, Monnow, Trothy Ithon and Llynfi all of these rivers are worth a closer look at in the future by River Angler.  

Wye

The source of the River Wye is in the Welsh mountains at Plynlimon. [Hence it being in the Wales section] It flows through or past several towns and villages including Hay on wye through to Hereford, Ross on Wye, Symonds Yat, [a beautiful area for fishing] Monmouth, and along to the River Severn near Chepstow.

The River Wye Has a run of salmon but in recent years these have been in decline so the Wye and Usk Foundation was set up to redress this issue and help to restore the spring salmon runs up the river , More recently with the surge in specialist fishing the river is noted for its Barbel fishing and we will take a closer look at the Game and Coarse fishing clubs along this truly beautiful river.
