Pwll-y-Faedda

Pwll-y-Faedda is a cracking private Wye beat above Erwood Bridge, with around half a mile of fishing and eight named pools. There’s double-bank water, a short single-bank section, easy rock wading in places and some proper deep holes for big trout.

The lowdown

  • This is upper Wye water near Builth Wells, tucked into 26 acres of private woodland. Very handy location on the A470 near Erwood.
  • The beat is described as half a mile, with 850 yards of double-bank fishing plus another 60 yards of single-bank water. That’s a fair bit of river to go at.
  • Eight pools give the place plenty of variety. Expect a mix of deeper, more settled water and fish-holding runs rather than one long, samey glide.
  • Most of the beat fishes from the bank or with easy rock wading. Bob on if you like moving around and covering water without a massive faff.
  • Some pools are very deep. Those are the spots to take seriously, especially when the river has a bit of colour or the bigger trout are lying doggo.
  • The owner names salmon, trout and grayling. The Wye & Usk Foundation also lists pike and chub, so there’s a decent spread of river life here.
  • The beat can fish early or late in the season at most water heights. That gives you options when conditions elsewhere are either too low or pushing through.
  • For trout and grayling, work the likely lies around the pool heads, edges and steady water. When the river carries colour, cover the crease and deeper water properly.
  • It’s private family-home fishing, so keep things tidy and respectful around the grounds. There are two free parking areas beside the drive for up to eight cars, with courtyard parking if needed.
  • We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.

Methods: The varied pools look suited to mobile bank fishing and easy rock wading, with trout and grayling approaches in the steadier water and deeper-pool tactics when the river has a bit of colour. Salmon, pike and chub are also named for the beat or wider water.

Key rules

    Coarse fishing on English rivers is closed from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. That's the law for coarse fish on rivers — it's not a club rule, and game-fishing seasons work differently.
