For 2020 we were again promised additional fisheries, only to be let down at short notice. As such we will be repeating the 2019 ticket but with the promise of more work on the access of the fisheries over the winter. We aim to make the swims more accessible and make more of them. We also now have to include VAT, hence the price increase for both season and day tickets.

Lower Symonds Yat consists of 2.5 miles of drivable (in all weather), double bank fly and spinning water just a couple of miles upstream of the famous Wyesham Fishery.

Vehicle access and parking on river bank. No 4x4 necessary but the grass can get long in summer after heavy rain, therefore vehicle access not guaranteed. |
Although only a short section by fishable bank length, if you were to take this as the centre of a mile of fishing, it would be the honey spot. Upstream and downstream you have a large bedrock intrusion, pinching the flow into a deep pool. This is the perfect habitat for chub, barbel, pike and most river fish species. On signing this stretch up we were watching a shoal of over 30 barbel just resting over the lip of the tail of the pool. This is a relatively virgin piece of fishing and with the stunning surroundings and no road noise, will make a day to remember on the Wye. Camping is permitted only by prior arrangement. Vehicle access permitted right down to the river bank.

Towards the lower limit is Martin's Pool - a deep section of river reputed to hold enormous carp and pike. To coarse fish here you must either be a member of the Seven Sisters Syndicate or make enquiries on taking one of a limited number of day tickets.

Bookable during the season to salmon fish, Goodrich Court is open for coarse fishing day tickets from October 18th to March 2nd inclusive. It is a well underfished stretch in coarse fishing terms and contains a good head of barbel, along with healthy numbers of chub and dace, and some very nomadic pike - specimens here have been identified as travelling well over a mile from neighbouring fisheries. In the right conditions this also a superb fishery to trot a float.

At just under 2 miles of mostly double bank fishing, a few miles downstream of Ross on Wye, LHC is renowned for it's stunning location and the quality of coarse fishing. Although predominantly fast and shallow, there are a variety of in stream features that make this an excellent year round fishery. Whilst offering numerous comfortable swims, much of the fishery is ignored. The rewards are there for the more adventurous angler though, especially if armed with waders.
During dry conditions vehicles have access to the entire right bank. When wet there is secure parking just a short walk away. From October 18th to March 14th, no vehicles are permitted on the fishery. |

Located between Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, Middle Hill Court is one of the premier Wye coarse fisheries. Barbel are common in this part of the Wye, with fish often reported into double figures. The chub also reach specimen sizes and with the right approach to watercraft can be found in good numbers. The pike move around from year to year, but it's no surprise when a large fish is reported taking ducklings or following a chub or barbel to the net. Other species include roach, dace, perch and even the occasional carp. This fishery is available through the Wye & Usk Foundation - the link to the left will divert you to The Fishing Passport booking page.

The upper section is accessible by vehicle right to the river bank, the lower just a 50m walk from the parking area. Specimen barbel have been caught here in recent years and although the access is a little wild in the early summer, the stretch is more accessible and fishes very well in winter. There is no longer a club share with this fishery. All day and season tickets are through Angling Dreams.

Just over a mile of right bank fishing just upstream of Monmouth. This is a lovely fishery with stunning views reaching up to the Forest of Dean. Access varies from tree lined to open fields, and the fishing has been excellent here over the years. Pike congregate in the slacks below Boys Rocks pool, and the barbel numbers are exceptional, with several double figure fish caught in the last few seasons.

The Dub SyndicateDrummond's Dub is a 12 acre lake situated a few miles from Ross on Wye. Previously a mixed fishery of diminishing popularity, in 2015 Angling Dreams took over the management of the fishing. With a distinct lack of quality carp waters in the area, our vision was that with a patient and professional approach, we could develop one. To supplement the low stock of resident carp, in December 2016 we introduced 70 of some of the best carp in the country, from VS Fisheries. We followed this with extensive swim construction dedicated to the carp angler. In December 2017 we followed up with another stocking of 40 or so carp from VS Fisheries. We operate a publicity ban on The Dub, as such internet searches will provide very little information.

Wainlode (River Severn)Carp and zander will be the main focus on this tranquil stretch of the mighty river Severn. Trotting a float can yield a real mixed bag with some decent roach and perch reported too. Night fishing permits are limited but there are up to 4 day tickets available per day. Parking is good and access easy, but care must be taken after high tide or following a flood as the banks can be very slippery. With the river Chelt flowing in at the the lower boundary, silver fish gather in the thousands and this is a notorious predator hotspot.
|
|
Monnow Valley (River Monnow)1 mile of right bank fishing on the lower reaches of the Monnow, a few miles upstream of Monmouth. This wonderfully secluded stretch is for the most part a good mixture of riffles and pools, providing some excellent fly fishing for the trout that give this river its reputation as one of the area's finest. The mayfly hatches can be spectacular, so dry fly fishing is excellent during late spring and early summer. This stretch of the Monnow is also host to a variety of coarse species, including chub and grayling. The best of the coarse fishing is towards the downstream end of the fishery where the river is slower and deeper.

Split into 3 seperate pools, this is a fabulous venue to get away from it for a days fishing. The upper pool is weedy but in 2014 was stocked with tench and crucians. The middle pool has a stock of around 15 mature tench, a dozen large and pristine chub, half a dozen carp of which size is anyone's guess, along with rudd and reports of huge eels. The bottom pool is almost commercial in style - full of carp up to double figures, that will take floaters and just about any bait you give them. Access is very friendly, and if pre-arranged camping is possible too. Contact us for further information.

Llangammarch Wells (River Irfon)SEASON
Trout (fly only) - March 3rd to September 30th Grayling (fly only) - October 1st to October 31st Grayling (bait or fly) - November 1st to March 2nd DAY TICKETS 2 per beat (3 beats) - £15.00 SEASON TICKETS N/A VEHICLE ACCESS & PARKING Parking adjacent to each beat.

Split into 3 beats, this is some of the best Upper Wye tributary grayling and trout fishing available. The river Irfon is affected by rainfall within a matter of hours, and it fines down in a similar timeframe. Huge grayling are caught here year after year - it's tough fishing but every fish that's banked is worth it, with stories of lost fish that bring anglers back autumn and winter, year after year.
