.......River Wye at Bourne End

Went to find the Buckinghamshire River Wye  this morning as has been a topic of conversation among the St Albans and Harpenden Fly Fishers for a while and there is a meeting this week of that group in a couple of days time.
A beautiful chalkstream that runs for about nine miles from the Chilterns (Edward Dashwood's estate), underground through High Wycombe to Bourne End and then the Thames above Cookham Lock. Believe that it became polluted in 1996 with cyanide!
Found the recreation Park and the six hundred yard stretch but the water was running fast and heavy bank growth restricted casting. A much better stretch is the one between Wooburn and Bourne End where Fi and I spotted lots of trout and still no No Fishing signs.

Caught the blue flash of a kingfisher - a lovely sight. But a bit more research before jumping into this river is required I reckon.
