What we would really like, I think, is to have access to the river
throughout the closed fishing season.
What, I think, you would really, really like is access 365 days a
year. Responsible access, free access. One day!
I think that the arrangement in France is pretty good - no paddling
early in the morning or in the evening. Most paddlers are not too good
at getting up early and the fishing gets worse as the sun gets higher -
this might not affect Wales quite so much!
