We cannot stress enough the importance of making quick and accurate returns of salmon catches, even if nothing has been caught. Recording catch data is one (perhaps the best, certainly the most cost effective) way of determining the success of our river restoration works. Although affected by short term variations in weather and water conditions, the longer term data set will build an accurate picture of our salmon runs. Catch returns can be made quickly via our online form for both Passport and non-Passport waters. Most of our reporting is from the Wye. Where a salmon has come from another river we will state accordingly.

Please note that due to rising water temperatures today, 19th July 2024, we advise that no salmon fishing takes place today or tomorrow. There is rain forecast tomorrow and temperatures are expected to fall as a result. River temperatures can be found here... https://telemetry-data.com/open?profile=River_Wye. If you have booked and the water temp is too high, a ‘temp off’ is available. This operates in the same way as our wash-off policy. We ask people to stop salmon fishing at 19℃ and trout fishing at 20℃.  Thank you.
