Upper Wye (Mid-Wales).

Many mink on your stretch? I used to fish the Usk and it's lower tributaries in the 80's and they were thick on the ground in some places

I haven't seen a mink for a few years. I fished the Wear in the 80's and they were rife there as well.

While we're waiting for the river to behave and the salmon/otters to show, here is a pic of a badger walking over a pipe bridge just down from me.
I saw a badger on the bridge a couple of nights previously, and told my neighbour who put up a wildlife camera. On one of the images a fox can also be seen, queuing up to cross.

Grabbed an hour on the river yesterday afternoon looking for grayling on fly. No takes , apart from a 3" brown trout
What a lovely afternoon to be out though!
