Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Black Mountains, Gromain is a 1.6km single bank fishery approx 8 miles downstream of Builth Wells. The Wye here is a big river, some 70 yards across in places, running over slate bedrock with the deep pools and fast runs that characterise this part of the river - classic fly water for salmon, trout and grayling. Some of the pools have boards from which to fish but overall, this part of the Wye is relatively difficult to wade so felt or studded soles are an absolute must.
For trout and grayling anglers there is a wide range of water on offer – dry fly flats, gravel runs, pocket water, deeper channels and fast, white water. There is a good head of wild brown trout and grayling throughout the beat.
For coarse anglers, along with some big chub, dace and pike the fishery has produced the occasional barbel in recent years. Trotting permitted for grayling from 18th October until 2nd March.
Half price evening tickets can be purchased from 1st May and after 1pm on the day of fishing. Fishing is allowed from 5pm.
The parking spot is very close to the river.
