About Whitney Court
Whitney Court is about three miles of mostly double bank on the Wye a few miles downstream of Hay-on-Wye, one of the classic middle Wye beats. The fishery is split into six sections. It has good salmon fishing, especially in spring, with plenty of water for fly anglers and for those who spin. Fly fishing only for trout and grayling is also sold. The river runs mostly over gravel here, so wading is much easier than on the bedrock sections above Hay. The page also lists coarse fishing, especially barbel, chub and pike.
Vehicles can reach the bankside at several points, but commercial and campervan style vehicles are not permitted on the estate grounds, so use the roadside lay-bys for those. After booking, anglers are asked to contact the fishery keeper before their visit to find out where on the beat they will be fishing; the details come with the booking confirmation. Canoe traffic can be heavy from 10am to 4pm at weekends in the warmer months, and especially on bank holidays.
Salmon are catch and release at all times. There is no spinning for coarse fish or trout. Dogs are allowed if kept under control. A salmon day ticket costs £40 and a river trout day ticket £23, with up to six tickets a day. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
