Other fisheries

The majority of our letting is via the Passport. We are pleased, however, to list details of fisheries that are outside our funding areas or wish to keep their letting separate.

Below Hereford the river Wye is joined by the Lugg and because this tributary carries an appreciable flow and often colour, the fishing above Hereford can be better in wet periods, while in lower water the reverse is true. Down to Monmouth the river is wide, deep and meandering, often too slow in places, but interspersed with some quite classic fisheries.

We can recommend the following fisheries:

The Carrots Fishery
The fishery made famous by Hutton. Excellent fly water and only 4 rods fishing on 2.75 miles with boats and a ghillie as necessary. You can drive the whole length of the beat in your car, from pool to pool through very pleasant scenery with no roads to cause disturbance. No grayling or trout. Fishing is let for 2 rods on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. The cost is £35 per day plus VAT with special terms for seasonal rods.

At Monmouth, the Monnow increases the size and the river speeds up as it heads for the tideway. The beats here need lower water but often provide the best of the summer sport. We recommend the following beats in this section of river:

Redbrook - from the old railway bridge downstream for about a mile on the right bank, this fishery offers some excellent fly-fishing. Spinning is allowed too. Best in the summer, but low water in the spring offers a good chance of a fish too. Contact: Maurice Hudson on 01594 530488 for details.

Coedithel Fisheries
The lowest beat on the river comprising 2.75 miles of double-bank fishing with a good selection of holding pools and fly fishing runs. Benefiting from fresh fish running in on the tide and a brilliant low water beat. Fishing is organised into eight beats which are fished in rotation. Two rods fish each beat; vehicular access and a ghillie service is available. Rods let on a yearly basis.
