How to fish it · for Atlantic Salmon
When
Morning into early afternoon.
Where
Pool tails, steadier runs, and any water with pace.
Method
Fish a sensible line-and-fly combination for the height and pace of water.
Kit
13 ft #8/9 double-hander in spate, 10 ft #8 single in low water. Floating line plus a fast-sink tip. 12–15 lb fluoro tippet.
Why this works
Very poor — water temperature is working for you, but water clarity is the limiting factor today.

The 4 beats
AberedwDay tickets
Wye & Usk Foundation (Fishing Passport — Wild Streams)
~1.75 miles across two sections, mostly double bank — the furthest downstream of the four Edw beats, near Aberedw village. One of the harder-wading lower-Edw beats over bedrock. 2 fish/rod limit, sub-9in returned.
Wild Stream pre-booking or Season Permit. Crayfish-plague disinfection notice in force.

Wye & Usk Foundation (Fishing Passport — Wild Streams)
~1.5 miles double- and single-bank Edw, ending at the bridge marking the start of Hundred House water, near Cregrina village. Full catch-and-release here (no retention, unlike the other three Edw beats).
Wild Stream pre-booking or Season Permit. Barbless hooks only (not stated on the other Edw beats). Crayfish-plague disinfection notice in force.
Visit official site ↗Hergest FallsDay tickets
Wye & Usk Foundation (Fishing Passport — Wild Streams)
1 mile double-bank Edw ending at Hergest Falls — a noted spot for watching ascending salmon and trout in high water, November/early December. 2 fish/rod limit, sub-9in returned. Salmon present via the Falls run.
Wild Stream pre-booking or Season Permit. Crayfish-plague disinfection notice in force.
Visit official site ↗Hundred HouseDay tickets
Wye & Usk Foundation (Fishing Passport — Wild Streams)
The furthest upstream of the four Edw beats, near Hundred House village. Slower and more meandering than the beats below, silt/gravel bed, good mayfly hatches, deep pools holding surprisingly large trout. Relatively easy wading but stealth is needed on the slower pools.
