We as an association could simply not exist without voluntary helpers-thank you to all who contributed in the past, present and hopefully in the future…. Please message us on here if it’s something you would like to take part in 👍 it’s great fun and a means of getting a reduction in permit price as we subtract £5 for every hour of help from the price. Thank you.

Daniel Rees kicked us off on the river this year with 3 browns on the bounce. surely this is a good sign for the season ahead 👌

A GOOD AND INFORMATIVE WATCH AS USUAL FROM IOLO…..

Everyone seen this I hope? Iolo joined Dr Ben Wilson doing some electro fishing on the Tywi catchment with Iolo quite optimistic to hear that a few Salmon parr had been recorded…. Ben on the other hand seemed quite somber-saying that 🤔I don’t think I’ve seen the great man (Ben) smile 😁….

Ben went on to explain that the main problem with our rapidly depleting migratory fish numbers was an oceanic return % of juvenile migration of only 3% compared with around 30% back in the good old days …..
Now I know it’s a numbers game and we need our rivers producing juveniles at maximum but Ill let you do the maths….
But my question is this, what species of animal can prosper or even survive such odds- a migratory journey of only 3% return? Regardless of whether we improve their juvenile habitat to its absolute best.
