News

Rather than clogging everybody's Inboxs with long newsletters, I am now posting them here on the website.
The News page will include any interesting info which comes to hand especially during the close season.
Lots of people look at the Fishing Report page during the season for up-to-date info on what is happening on the river,
& I hope that the news page will be used similarly whilst the fishing is closed.
