Fishing The Wye

Whilst not directly on the River Bank, the Hayloft sits in the village of Bredwardine which is historically synonymous with River Wye Angling. In the salmon heydays of the 70s and 80s, anglers came from all over the world to fish for Atlantic salmon on the Moccas Estate, and adjoining beats.

As the sudden and dramatic salmon collapse took place in the late 80s, a new species became the focus and Bredwardine was the place to go for the earliest specimen Wye Barbel. As the species spread through the Wye like wildfire, this area seemed to be the most productive, and it continues to this day.

You can also add to that some huge shoals of chub, dace, pike to 30lbs, trout and winter grayling. There is something for everyone in this area. a

Letton Court Fisheries

Guests (max of two) staying at The Hayloft, receive free access to Letton Court Fisheries a celebrated fishery on this stretch of the river.

Each session runs from the day of arrival, from 1500hrs to 1030am on the day of your departure.

Set within a historic estate, Letton Court Fisheries offers 1.5 miles of deep pools, golden-gravel shallows and extensive riffles on the left bank of the Wye, alongside a seven-acre oxbow lake of remarkable character.

There is not a defined peg in sight , just breathtaking views across the Bredwardine Hills, specimen fish, and exceptional wildlife.

Both game and coarse fishing are available, with salmon, wild brown trout, barbel, chub and carp all present depending on the season.
