A fisherman has filmed a video which he says shows sewage spilling into the River Wye river just upstream from where people swim. Martin Morgan captured the video on a trip down the river, where he alleges the pollution has been contributing to the death of salmon.
The video shows sewage appearing to pour into the river between Redbrook and Monmouth, where the water looks completely opaque. In the clip, Mr Morgan says the river "stinks to high heaven" and that the salmon are "struggling to survive".
Mr Morgan, secretary of the Black Rock Lave Net Heritage fishery, told WalesOnline: "It's shocking to see what has become of the River Wye. A dry summer has highlighted the underlying issues affecting the health of this river.
