Leaping Salmon
at Gilfach Reserve
The salmon run started early this year. There's a steady run, with some of the biggest fish I've yet seen. Todays high river level will have slowed things down but as the water drops there should be some good viewing. The otter has already been seen hunting the "middle pool" (not by me). This time of year the otter is a regular visitor to our stretch of the Marteg, as shown by the part eaten salmon along the banks.
