"After the driest spring recorded for more than 50 years, Wye and Usk anglers started June and the early summer period with a definite sense of trepidation". Oliver looks back on June... https://t.co/ohfYlr2gtC

Cold early morning starts leading to hot afternoons and clear skies most of the time and still very low water. Still, the trout fishing on occassion was exceptional. Oliver looks back on May... https://t.co/rFA6RdHlL9

Clouds were rare, rain non-existent and some very big temperature swings. Oliver looks back on fishing in April... https://t.co/1Zk5b2X7yD

November came and the days had become short and dark. Oliver Burch reports on a month with some decent catches... https://t.co/qEHRGISDcr

[Afonydd Cymru: The Rivers Trust of Wales @AfonyddCymru]

Very few Welsh rivers have escaped human modification of some sort - weirs, channel straightening, bank reinforcement, culverts etc.

Our November Welsh "River of the Month," the beautiful Afon Aeron is no different.

Even the Germans got involved.

A good news story for the #riverusk

[Afonydd Cymru: The Rivers Trust of Wales @AfonyddCymru]

Credit where credit is due….

@NatResWales has successfully pushed through changes to abstraction licences for the Brecon & Monmouthshire Canal that will help the river Usk's salmon and overall ecology.

This was despite an appeal by @CanalRiverTrust against the decision.
