About Wyesham
Wyesham, with the Duke’s water, is the first beat downstream of Monmouth. The Passport notes that the Monmouth to estuary section is where the majority of Wye salmon are caught. The beat is about 2½ miles of double bank salmon fishing on the border between England and Wales, with good fly fishing throughout.
It is set in the lower Wye valley, where the steep wooded banks begin to narrow into the lower Wye gorge, close to the tidal limit. The Passport describes rotating beats with excellent fly fishing on all of them.
Salmon are catch and release at all times and dogs are allowed if kept under control. The wash-off policy does not apply to this beat. The beat page prints no ticket price on 27 October 2026. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
