River Wye Hay on Wye

This is the view of the river Wye from the bridge in Hay.
At one time the Wye had prolific salmon catches.
The most successful salmon fisherman in the history of the river Wye was Robert Pashley. He caught over 10,000 salmon from 1906 to 1951, most of them with the fly.
No less than twenty-nine of these fish weighed over 40lbs.
His best year was in 1936 when he caught 678 salmon more than the entire rod catch in 2010.
Whenever I'm walking over a bridge I have to look over into the river, this is one of my favourite views.
