The lowdown
- This is a proper riverside holiday-park setting, tucked between Mordiford and Fownhope on the B4224 in Herefordshire.
- The fishable water sits beside Lucksall, with the river on one side of the park and woodland on the other. Cracking countryside scenery, too.
- Wooden fishing pegs are located down the river. The official details don’t confirm how many, so there’s no point guessing a peg count.
- The exact fishery length hasn’t been published either. What is clear is that anglers get direct access to the River Wye from the park.
- Barbel fishing is described as popular on this stretch of the Wye, with barbel and chub specifically named as present. Proper river fish, and well worth thinking about when the flow’s got a bit of colour.
- The Wye here is promoted for coarse fishing. That makes the usual river approaches the sensible starting point: trotting where the pace allows, or a feeder worked into the crease and steadier water.
- Pike fishing is also mentioned in the park’s fishing article, including catches over 30lb. That’s a serious bit of river predator potential, although no separate stretch detail is given.
- The coarse-fishing season runs from 16 June to 14 March. Outside that window, don’t fish the coarse water.
- There are two river access points for launching and landing canoes, kayaks and paddleboards. Keep that shared river use in mind when settling into a swim.
- Parking is available at the park for campers and visitors to the Riverside Bar & Eatery. Fishing permits and reception enquiries go through Lucksall Holiday Park.
- We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.
Methods: For the named barbel and chub, try trotting or feeder tactics around the crease, steadier glides and any deeper-looking water. Pike fishing is also mentioned, with catches over 30lb reported in the park’s fishing article.
