The Wye and Usk Foundation

Roving Voucher Scheme

For those fly fishers who enjoy stalking genuinely wild fish in remote waters, these beats are just what you are looking for! Set in stunning scenery, they can be anything from six feet wide mountain streams to more leisurely paced, medium-sized rivers. Whichever you decide upon, an 8 foot 3/4 weight is the largest rod that you will need and most of the streams require smaller rods to get underneath the bankside foliage. All these beats offer feisty wild trout that are fantastic fun to catch on lightweight outfits. The average size is probably around 6 to 8 inches. Bigger fish, however, are present - the voucher beats have produced both wild brown trout and grayling to over 3lbs since the start of the scheme in 2003. The rewards are there to be found!

To access the fishing available through the 'Roving Voucher Scheme' you need to be in possession of 3 things, all of which are obtainable from the Foundation (see below on how to order):

• A copy of The Wye & Usk Passport.

• Enough Roving Vouchers.

• The appropriate Environment Agency rod licence.

Once you have these, miles of fishing is instantly available to you without having to do anything else except get yourself there. The beauty of this scheme is that you don't have to ring anyone up to book in advance, or track anyone down when you arrive. If on Sunday afternoon you decide you want to go fishing, off you go!

4 steps to get you fishing......

1. Request your free copy of this seasons Passport by clicking on the image (right).
   To fish the Roving Voucher Scheme you must be in possession of one of these as it contains all the maps and directions for each beat. This information is not given on the website.

   
   

2. Then buy some Roving Vouchers ...
   They are available in books of 10 and cost £26.00 per book. There are 3 ways to do this……
   
   a. Via our Online Booking System (order fee of £1.50).
   
   b. By calling us on 01982 560 788 (order fee of £3.00).
   
   c. Or from one of our external outlets.
   
   These establishments are often open outside office hours (please see individual websites for opening times). Their locations are marked on the Roving Voucher fisheries map with a green star and their details given below.
   If you haven't already got one, you will also need an Environment Agency rod licence, available from the Foundation (call 01982 560 788, order fee of £2.50 applicable), Post Offices or from the Environment Agency.

   
   

3. Read your Passport and choose which beat(s) you want to fish.
   You have 50 to select from (see below), over 60km of quality fishing in stunning countryside at your fingertips!

   
   

4. Get your gear and jump into the car.
   Having shown up at one of the beats, all you do is post the required amount of vouchers (given at the top of each beat write-up in the Passport) in a box next to the water - you are then entitled to fish that beat for the day. It's as simple as that!

Before using the Roving Voucher Scheme, please ensure you have read the full Terms & Conditions of their use.
