THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PATIENCE...
We aim to respond to booking enquiries within 24 hours, but as we are as active on the bank as we are in the office, this can sometimes take longer.
For ANY enquiry, if you have not received a response from us within 48 hours then please contact us again - your email may well have been lost in cyber space...
Due to demand we can only hold provisional bookings (those pending payment) for 48 hours, after which time if we haven't received the relevant correspondence, we will re-open the booking to other anglers.
We're experiencing an increasing issue of emails in either direction ending up in 'junk' or 'spam'. This can happen at any point from an initial email to us, right up to the email containing your booking documents. We appreciate this can be frustrating, but please check this option your end before thinking we're out fishing all the time and ignoring you! Likewise, please don't hesitate to chase us up if you've sent us an email without reply - your email may well be in our junk/spam.
We politely request anglers refrain from enquiries on availability by telephone. Due to the nature of the booking system, email correspondence ensures each enquiry is dealt with consistently and in turn. If you'd rather talk to someone, we will do our best to take your call, but please don't be offended if this isn't always possible - we are a small (and thankfully busy) family business. We will answer any query by email though, if not always straight away.
To guarantee your fishing, we would always recommend you book online and in advance.

HOME FISHERY

Approximately ¾ mile of right bank fishing. Whatever species you fish for you are in with a chance of a specimen and the Courtfield waters are famed for specimen fish. There are several hundred yards of fantastic coarse and game fishing, with superb salmon catches, all within easy 100 yard or so walks from the car parking.
Legg Meadow, Legg Meadow Crib, Wood Crib follow downstream all providing superb fishing in the cream of the renowned Courtfield waters. Next comes Waterscross Pool a big fish holding area for salmon and barbel, followed by Boat Pool, Willow Run, Ferry Pool and the Island Pool all tried and tested barbel catches producing specimen clean fish. With new vehicle access for the first time ever anglers can now fish this superb bottom end fishing within 150 yards of parking or drop off tackle and companions along the way, although please note the hill is steep so care is needed. (There are pictures on the beats gallery to assist with access). The Home beat lies in beautiful parkland surroundings below the mansion of Courtfield where King Henry V lived as a boy. |

THOMAS WOOD
|
|
|
Nestled in the heart of the Wye Valley on a private estate, this fishery is over a mile of right bank fishing down to the small confluence of the Bishopswood Brook. The fishery can be accessed with your vehicle and you can drop your gear right to your swim.
The fishery features three styles of fishing landscape: meadow fishing, woodland fishing and wild fishing in this beautiful valley. This stretch of the River Wye is well known for its amazing barbel fishing. It is also home to some very large chub, trout and grayling and is world renowned for its magnificent salmon. The location itself can only be described as stunning, with breathtaking views of the Wye Valley nestled in the Courtfield Estate, home to wild herds of fallow deer and circling buzzards. The sheer variety of landscape & fishing styles encompassed in this beat provides for every type of angler. |

UPPER BREINTON
|
|
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.

ROSS ON WYE TOWN WATER
|
|
DAY TICKETS AVAILABLE ON THE BANK You no longer have to come into store to purchase your ticket, just head to the river any time of day and get fishing. At some point a bailiff will be round to collect your £10.00 cash.
This stretch of water is located right in the shadow of Ross on Wye town - literally a couple of hundred yards down the hill from Fishers. Access is varied but parking is ample and within meters of the bank. All the usual Wye coarse species can be caught here - year after year it produces specimen pike, chub, barbel, carp and good match bags. |

LOWER SYMONDS YAT
|
|
|
Lower Symonds Yat Fishery is 2.5 miles of some of the best salmon and coarse fishing available on the River Wye. Flowing through a limestone gorge towards Monmouth, the river is a mixture of gravel runs and deep channels. 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. A small salmon syndicate fish weekdays from March 3rd to June 16th, but day tickets are available at all other times during the season.

GOODRICH COURT
|
|
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.

LOWER HILL COURT
|
|
|
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. |

UPPER HILL COURT
|
|
|
Located a couple of miles downstream of Ross on Wye, Upper Hill Court is approx 1 mile of left bank fishing split into 2 main parts. 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.

WYASTONE LEYS
|
|
|
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 TUNNEL
|
Whilst privately owned and day tickets or memberships unavailable, we have a duty to safeguard this prime area of river Wye fishing. Located on our doorstep, and regularly monitored for illegal fishing and camping, this fishery is one of the best examples of middle/lower Wye fishing. Although not available to the public, we offer many similar stretches just a short distance up and downstream.
Listing this fishery is to provide information on it's status only - NO DAY TICKETS OR MEMBERSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE - anyone found fishing without the relevant permission will be reported to the authorities. |
|
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 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.
