Our very own Geoff Maynard proud owner of some great fishing on the Wye!

As you may already know Geoff has bought a wonderful stretch - the Llanthomas Fishery which is located on the lower end of the Upper Wye approximately 5.6 km (3.5 miles) up river from Hay-on-Wye and approximately 3 km (2 miles) down river from Glasbury on Wye.

The Llanthomas Fishery is approximately 1,000m (1,094 yds) of double bank fishing. The fishery historically was renowned as an early spring fishery. Currently however salmon are more regularly caught later in the season with trout, chub, barbel, grayling, pike, perch and dace being caught either in the summer and or autumn or all year round.



The fishery comprises the following pools:

Llanthomas Pool
This pool is quite shallow and best fished in high water. Fish likely to be caught in this pool include chub, barbel and grayling. Salmon are known to move up river in the evenings to the shallower fly water above the Watling to Llanthomas.

Pwll Dwrgi Pool
The stretch of river just before this pool is known as the Pulpit. The large area of deep water on the bend, known as the Larder, is a holding pool for the Middle and Upper Wye. In all conditions salmon show below the Pulpit and in the Larder itself. The pool is best fished from a boat and is suitable for spinning or for coarse fishing.

Watling Pool
This pool offers some of the best fly fishing,
particularly for trout and salmon.

Geoff is making available for rent the Llanthomas Fishery as a whole on a day to day basis. As a block booking the beat offers a marvellous opportunity for friends, clubs or instructors to enjoy a day’s exclusive fishing on a lovely, secluded beat of the Wye. The beat is double bank and has four named pools – offering a nice mix of fast and slow running water.

Additional information: This stretch has never been seriously coarse fished in its history. It's an unknown quantity which could throw up some surprises.

I've fished it with a couple of pals just twice so far, once for an afternoon in Oct and once when it was in flood after Xmas.
So far we have managed chub to 5lb, barbel to 9lb 8oz, grayling to 2lb 2oz and brown trout to 3lb+. There are also perch, dace and the usual other river suspects.

Geoff. I'll be contacting you nearer the season start to book some double days Aug/Sept/Oct.

Wish I had seen this before. Already booked some beats downstream for June/July for my weekend events.

Cheers

Okay Graham - but use the ibooking system in CBs post if you can. We are still testing it.

Do you own or just lease that part of the river ?
