Upper Wye

Photo #1 of the Upper Wye River Photo #2 of the Upper Wye River
The River Wye upstream of Hay-on-Wye. A fast, rocky section of river with excellent fly fishing for salmon in higher water conditons. This part of the Wye provides the river's best trout and grayling fishing. There are also some good coarse fishing opportunities, especially for chub, pike and dace. Wading can be difficult in places, although some beats are easier than others.

Canoeing
There is an arrangement whereby canoeists can access the upper Wye at certain times of the year and at certain river heights. Full details of the agreement may be found here. Should you encounter any canoeists outside these times, please ask them to leave and not continue. We would be grateful if you could also inform them about the agreement and let us know what happened.
