The lowdown
- This is a compact beat, but it’s got plenty going for it. Around 225 metres of the Middle Wye is available to fish, with both banks included.
- Access is easy, which is always a bonus when you’ve got a barrow, feeder gear or a mountain of bait to shift. Car parking is available right beside Foy Bridge too.
- The fishing pegs are well maintained, so there’s less faff getting settled in. Pick a swim, get comfortable and concentrate on what’s happening in front of you.
- It’s described as suitable for outstanding coarse fishing. Barbel, chub and perch are the named targets, giving you a proper mix of river fish to go at.
- For coarse anglers, the usual river game is on the cards from the facts here: make the most of the swim, watch the flow and fish confidently. The beat’s coarse-fishing regulations apply.
- There’s also a fly-fishing pool for salmon anglers. It contains numerous boulders and potential lies, so it has a distinctly different feel from the coarse pegs.
- Salmon fishing is catch-and-release at all times. That rule is absolute, so handle fish accordingly and follow the beat requirements to the letter.
- The maximum number of tickets per day is two. That should keep things quiet and give the stretch a pleasantly uncrowded feel.
- Evening fishing is permitted from 5pm. From June through September, half-price evening coarse tickets can be bought after 1pm on the day — a handy cheeky session if you’re free later on.
- Dogs are allowed, but they must be kept under control. The wash-off policy also applies, alongside national fishing byelaws and all beat regulations.
Methods: This is a coarse-fishing beat for barbel, chub and perch, with a separate fly-fishing pool for salmon anglers. Evening fishing is permitted from 5pm, and the salmon pool has boulders and potential lies.
