Bishopswood, £6 a day, DT from the stores, mile or so of good fishing, just below Kerne Bridge, not Tuesday's on the upper stretch. Apart from that WUF pre book, but at least £20.

Thanks someone said that you need to have a wye usk foundation membership to fish the wye, is that so? found a nice campsite at symonds yat although might be a busy still could be good. i will take a look at that stretch

Peter, you don't need to be a WUF member, just pre book a stretch on line. The stretch I mentioned and fish is a clay bottom stretch mostly, but you need to approach it I would suggest with the conventional feeder approach and fish with a pit of patience, two biggish feeding patterns normally come in a day, am and pm. The downstream section offers great stick float fishing, as does the peg by the 'path' into the fishery.
