The lowdown
- A proper Wye stretch, with the whole fishable bank on the right bank. Handy to know before you start planning your day.
- The beat is just under a mile long, giving you plenty of water to explore rather than being boxed into a tiny run of pegs.
- It’s set among mature pine forest, so there’s a cracking natural backdrop to the fishing. Proper peaceful-looking stuff.
- Angling Dreams says the stretch has had little coarse-fishing pressure. That makes it an interesting option when you fancy something a bit less hammered.
- The coarse season runs from June 16 to November 1 for summer fishing, then November 1 to March 2 for the winter season. Check your dates carefully, as the changeover is tight.
- This is described as prime River Wye coarse fishing. The available details don’t pin down particular swims, depths or features, so treat the beat as water to explore rather than fishing to a prescribed peg plan.
- Seasonal salmon fishing is noted too, although the salmon season is listed as to be confirmed. Don’t assume the coarse dates cover salmon.
- Each booking gives you the beat exclusively, regardless of how many anglers are in your party. That’s a proper bonus for a relaxed session without other day-ticket anglers dropping into the swim next door.
- Access is by prior arrangement only. Tickets aren’t sold on the bank, so get everything sorted before travelling and carry your pre-booked ticket or relevant membership proof.
- Vehicle access is through a gated coded entrance. The holder says access is available in all weather, with parking metres from the river; in dry conditions, a 4x4 may park behind swims.
Methods: The checked details confirm coarse fishing and seasonal salmon fishing, but don’t specify particular methods. Pick your approach to suit the conditions and the river on the day.
