River Fishing New last year is the Upper Wye Passport, a roving voucher system allowing you
to fish for wild trout, salmon and winter grayling in the delightful head waters
and tributaries of the Wye.River and stream fishing is extremely challenging, especially in the smaller tributaries. Miles of unspoilt 'beats' are now available on some of Britain's prettiest stretches of river thanks to the work of the Wye Usk Foundation and the owners.  Vouchers
and maps of where the fishing beats are located are all available from Ffynnonau. All you have to do is bring a current Rod Licence, available at most Post
Offices. Rover vouchers cost £3.00 each and most beats require four vouchers for
adults (2 for under 14's) e.g. £12.00 per day/beat (or £6.00). Clear instructions and detailed maps are given in the guide although it's probably wise to bring a good ordinance survey map too. (147 & 148)  Thigh
waders are normally sufficient although chest waders could be needed on some beats
in some conditions. Studs are a wise precaution when fishing as rocks can be very
slippery. Bag limit is two trout per beat per day (minimum 9 inches) although some beats are catch and release only. Barbless hooks only as these streams contain many salmon and trout parr that seem to take flies however presented!
