Wye & Usk Foundation (Fishing Passport — Wild Streams)

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.

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.
