About Lower Canon Bridge
Lower Canon Bridge is a mile of right bank on the Wye, about six miles upstream of Hereford, set in rural Herefordshire opposite the National Trust’s Weir Garden. The stretch is a mixture of fast and slow water, with easy wading over a mostly gravel bed. The page lists both salmon and coarse tickets.
With a 4x4 you can drive almost the length of the fishery; without one it is a 220 metre walk to the upper limit.
All species are catch and release, an online catch return must be completed after fishing, and dogs are not allowed. A salmon day ticket costs £37, with up to four tickets a day. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
