Wye

Description

Three meadows (approx.900m) on the left bank immediately upstream of the footbridge at Kings Caple. The top end is on the inside of a bend with shallower water near the bank, while downstream near the footbridge the BAA fishing is on the outside of a bend with deeper water on the near side.

Approaches

Follow M50 to the end (J4). At roundabout take 1st exit onto A449, cross next roundabout (3rd exit) and continue on A40, after crossing the Wye near Ross turn right at next roundabout onto A49. After about 500m take 2nd right hand turn (signposted Sellack, Hoarwithy, Kings Caple and Little Dewchurch). Follow this road for about 5 miles to Hoarwithy village, just past the New Harp pub take the next right hand turn towards Kings Caple. Cross the Wye, and continue on this road for about 1/2 mile taking the 2nd right hand turn. Continue down this road for about 1/3 mile, at the bottom of the hill where the road bends sharp left on the right is a BAA signed farm gate, the entrance to our fishery.

SatNav note: if you travel from the midlands using a satnav it will direct you off the M50 at J3 and send you cross country to Kings Caple. To use the alternative route above ignore your satnav and continue on the M50 to the Ross area. Your satnav should then take you the alternative route detailed above.

NIGHT FISHING IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.

VEHICLES MUST ONLY BE PARKED IN THE DESIGNATED AREA ALONGSIDE THE FISHING HUT AND MUST NOT BE DRIVEN ACROSS THE FIELDS. IF THE DESIGNATED PARKING AREA IS FULL, THEN PLEASE PARK OUTSIDE THE FIELD ON THE ROAD OR LEAVE THE VENUE. DO NOT PARK ELSEWHERE IN THE FIELD.

BAA PARKING:- Enter the field through the gate and drive alongside the right hand edge of the field towards the fishing hut. DO NOT DRIVE ACROSS THE FIELD AND PARK ON THE RIVER BANK.

Baits & ground-bait: The EA has granted the BAA a dispensation from the ban on the use of maggots, ground-bait and feeders on the Wye. Therefore you can use baits, ground-bait and feeders as you would on our other river fisheries such as those on the Severn. The EA dispensation is for a year only which will need to be re-applied for and granted annually.

The Stacklands Fishery has previously been a salmon only venue and has not been subject to anglers using large amounts of ground-bait. Please be aware of this when fishing and use ground-bait in quantities that are appropriate for the venue.

Giant Hogweed: Please take care at this location as Giant Hogweed grows in the field alongside the river, the sap from the plant can cause burning on the skin.
