About Abernant

Abernant is just under a mile of mostly left bank on the upper Wye, a few miles downstream of Builth Wells. The Passport names two high water salmon pools, Lady Alexander’s Catch and Abernant Stream, and says the Edw Pool and Stone Catch are well worth a cast too. The beat also holds good numbers of trout and grayling.
