About Lower Glanwye
Lower Glanwye is half a mile of double and single bank on the Wye, about two miles downstream of Builth Wells. It has salmon fishing and, the Passport says, first class sport for trout and grayling, a small part of which can be fished from the bank. The beat consistently provides prolific sport for those who fish for trout and grayling.
Most of it needs wading, and as on most of the upper Wye, studded or felt soled waders are necessary. The beat can cater for one salmon rod or two trout and grayling rods a day. Getting to the water can be difficult, but parking is very close to the river. Half price evening tickets can be bought from 1 May, after 1pm on the day, with fishing from 5pm.
Salmon are catch and release at all times, fishing is fly only, the limit is two fish (trout and grayling), and dogs are allowed if kept under control. A salmon day ticket costs £36 and a trout day ticket £17. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
