Pollution and Rain!


We have had a pollution on my local trout river the Touvre. I mentioned in an earlier post the problems this river has to contend with, but the pollution is by far the worst!
We are having more of the much welcome winter rain right now. This wet front has been with us since the snow departed, around a week ago, and should be the push the trout need to run up the small river to spawn.
Many fish spawn in the river itself, and make their reds were anglers would be walking in a few weeks time, if the Touvre didn't have a wading ban until mid May. It makes for a very short fishing season, but we feel it worth it. If only we could convince some of the French fishers now, to return spawning fish caught from the banks, during the opening weeks of March!
