R3 - Rhayader Angling Association Water
Once again for 2010, Roving Vouchers can be used to access the miles of fishing that is available through the Rhayader & Elan Valley Angling Association. From the wild brown trout, grayling, coarse and late season salmon fishing on the rivers Wye, Marteg and Elan to Stillwater fisheries in the Elan Valley Reservoirs and Llyngwyn, these waters provide a spectacular and comprehensive choice to the visiting fisherman.
To gain access to any of the Rhayader Angling water you must first obtain a day or season permit from Daisy Powell at the Newsagents on West Street in Rhayader (01597 810 451). Roving vouchers can be used to pay for these permits but please note that change cannot be given for them.
River Wye & Marteg
Approximately 5 miles of main Wye and 3 miles of river Marteg fishing for brown trout, grayling and late season salmon.
Elan Valley Reservoirs - Caban Coch, Garreg Ddu, Pen-y-Garreg, Craig Goch 8
50 acres of wilderness Stillwater fishing with both wild brown trout and stocked browns from the Rhayader AA hatchery.
Llyngwyn
A natural spring fed 16 acre lake set in quiet countryside, 3 miles from Rhayader and again a Trout Master water. The water holds brown trout but is also re-stocked weekly with rainbows from 1lb to 9lb. 3 boats are available to hire. Interestingly, the lake also hosts a population of wild carp, originally stocked by Cistercian monks in the 12th Century.
River Elan
2 miles of trout and grayling fishing on this medium sized Wye tributary. Whilst being an attractive river in its own right, the Elan is often the place to head if other parts of the Wye system are in spate as the dams regulate flows. No maggots allowed but other baits permitted as per Environment Agency byelaws. Season dates mirror those for the Wye and Marteg. Wye & Marteg prices include the Elan.
