Approximately 1¼ miles of single right bank middle Wye fishing situated between Hereford and Ross. For salmon anglers there are a number of streamy sections that are suitable for fly fishing for salmon and a number of holding pools that are more suited to spinning. The ‘Quarry’ is a deep holding pool notable for the capture of two fish in one day weighing 51lb and 44lb respectively. Wading is relatively easy over the mostly gravel riverbed. For coarse anglers there is a good head of barbel, chub and pike. The area around Carey Islands also holds brown trout.
The fishery has been lightly fished in recent years. A small syndicate of salmon anglers that also fish the water so day tickets do not have exclusivity although there is more than enough water to go round. Access along the bank is by foot only so anglers are advised to travel light. The banks are steep in places and not suitable for those less agile. No 4x4 necessary but the track can be difficult in wet conditions. Use your own judgement. If you don’t want to drive down to the river, park at the top, without blocking access.
