Default Guess the River in Wales and the Marches

With less than a month to go until the trout fishing season opens, lets get the anticipation levels up. The idea is to guess the name of the river or stream shown in the photo in question. The first person to guess correctly must post their own photo.

The rules are simple:

1. It must be a stream or river of Wales and/or the Marches (defined for these purposes as Shropshire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire).
2. You have to have fished the river yourself.
3. It must be a photo taken by you or a fishing buddy, not a photo lifted from a website.

I'll start with what should be an easy one...

Maybe not so easy (although it should be...). No-one has it so far!
