Wye Salmon Catches To Date
We cannot stress the importance of making timely and accurate returns
of salmon catches to both riparian owner and via your rod licence.
For all Passport scheme waters making a catch return is a condition
of booking for salmon, trout and coarse rods, even if nothing has been
caught. This can be done quickly via our online catch return form.
Recording catch data is one (perhaps the best - certainly the most cost
effective) way of determining the success of our river restoration works.
Although affected by short term variations in weather and water conditions,
the longer term data set will build an accurate picture of our salmon runs.
The below table shows recent salmon catches for the Wye. Much of the data
is taken from EAW fishery statistics.
