About Goodrich Court
Goodrich Court is just over a mile of double bank on the River Wye, a few miles downstream of Ross-on-Wye, and it is reserved for salmon anglers. It is a run of named pools, among them The V, Dog Hole, Maddox and Vanstone, and it suits both fly and spinner. Much of it can be fished from the bank, and wading is relatively easy when it is needed.
Salmon are catch and release at all times, and before noon the beat is fly only. Dogs are allowed if kept under control. A ghillie works the beat from Tuesday to Sunday and can be arranged through the Fishing Passport. A junior ticket is available for anglers under 18, and a block booking can be made. A salmon day ticket costs £50, up to four tickets are sold a day, and the house keeps the right to fish any rods that are not booked. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
