About Caradoc
Caradoc is a mile and a half of right bank on the middle Wye, between Ross-on-Wye and Hereford, and the Passport counts it among the classic middle Wye salmon fisheries. A number of croys along the bank make most of the salmon pools easy to reach, and where wading is needed it is relatively easy. The page also lists coarse fishing for barbel, chub and pike. Occasionally an abstraction pump may be running on the beat.
You can drive along the bank for almost the whole length. From 1 May half price evening salmon tickets can be bought after 1pm on the day, with fishing allowed from 5pm. Caradoc can get busy with other river users in school holidays, on bank holidays and on summer weekends, so early morning and evening are worth concentrating on then.
All species are catch and release, dogs are not allowed, and the beat has a wash-off policy. The salmon day ticket is listed at £45 to £46, with up to four tickets a day. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
