About Lower Carrots and Luggsmouth
Lower Carrots and Luggsmouth is about 800 yards of double bank a few miles downstream of Hereford, one of the well known middle Wye salmon fisheries. The Passport says the best salmon fishing is usually in April, May, June or late September. It also offers coarse fishing for barbel, chub, pike and the other usual species.
A small salmon syndicate fishes the beat infrequently, so exclusivity is not guaranteed. A ghillie can be arranged through the Fishing Passport. It is about a 300 metre walk from the parking area to the river, and the open, gently sloping banks have a level walkway along much of the beat. The field entrance is off a busy road with no verge or pull-in, so approach from the east and park off the road.
All species are catch and release and dogs are not allowed. A salmon day ticket costs £30, with up to two tickets a day. This beat can only be booked by contacting the Fishing Passport: you can see the available dates online, but the booking is not made on the website, and the fishery owner agrees each booking first.
