About Red Lion Moccas Fishery

Red Lion Moccas Fishery runs for some four miles of single bank on the middle Wye and is traditionally one of the places to try for spring salmon. There are plenty of pools and fly runs, the water passes through pastureland, and the Passport describes it as easy to reach with good wading. Canoe traffic can be heavy from 10am to 4pm at weekends in the warmer months, and especially on bank holidays.
