Information

The river Wye was voted the nation’s favourite river in 2010. It rises on the slopes of Pumlumon in the Cambrian Mountains and flows for approximately 152 miles in a generally south easterly direction, through Builth Wells, Hay-on-Wye, Hereford, Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, before joining the Severn Estuary at Chepstow. The river is listed as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) under the EU Habitats Directive.

The river has nearly everything a river angler could want – salmon, trout, grayling, barbel, chub, big pike and an array of other coarse species in addition to, of course, spectacular scenery along one of the most famous valleys in the UK. The only thing missing is, perhaps, a sizeable run of sea trout although even a few of these are caught every year, usually by pike anglers using lures in February.

We have over 60 beats on the Wye and its tributaries for you to book, which can be found in the various areas listed above.
