There's information on the Wye & Usk foundation website relating to a 39lb fish that's a record for the river but i've not heard any rumours of a national record coming from the river though the potential is clearly there.
What have you heard... c'mon spill the beans?

I am not aware fo anything, but would be really interested to hear if there is any substance to this.

I gather there was a fish estimated to weigh 47lbs. That means precisely nothing.
The supposed 38 pounder caught around a year ago was actually a known fish that gets caught at around 19lbs.

Yes. A fish was reported to the RWGA who published it in good faith on their website and it was subsequently reported in the WUF newsletter. It was reported taken from the diving pool swim on the Warren fishery beat, two Saturdays ago. Two guys I have spoken to were also fishing the same beat the same day and saw nothing of of the fish. And no photos or any other info has been forthcoming since. It's now being disregarded as a 'fishy tale' but I don't think it was a deliberate attempt to deceive - I think it's possible that there was a misunderstanding, that the '47' related to the length of the fish, which would make it a low to mid twenty. But watch this space - this is the same swim the previous Wye record of 37lb+ came from and from an area where bigger fish have been caught by salmon anglers over the years who never claimed the record.

I heard the one you had Spiders was 20 lb heavier and came from Lancy reservoir in Blackley. And the day after you had another one 10 lb lighter from King Bills. Blackley seem to be the hotbed of BIG pike at the moment.
The grapevine say you're targeting Rhodes Lodges next to see if you can crack the ton.

I deny everything Phill, glad you didnt know about the 57lb-17oz one I had, you would have even named Heaton Park where I had it from

I heard about that one. However a witness said that it was only 23lb 18oz until it accidentally swallowed your wallet.
