Jeff Morgan has announced this today on Facebook:
"If anyone is interested in fishing the Wye at Hay, a local community group has today completed the purchase of the fishing rights at The Warren. This has been ongoing for 2 years so it's a relief to have it finalised. The stretch is about a mile long of single righthand bank with many pools, glides & fast water. Recent catches include barbel to 13lb 8oz, pike to 28lb, chub to 6lb with numerous trout, dace & grayling, no one can remember the last time a salmon was caught here.
The fishery will be run to benefit local anglers & visitors with cost of fishing reflecting that:-
Day ticket £10
Season £60
Ten year & lifetime (message me if interested)
The 10 year & lifetime ticket holders will be able to take a guest."
He also says that "this is the stretch where the Wye record pike 37lb was caught in 1910 by Major Booth while spinning for salmon."
It's sad that salmon are no longer caught here - the Wye used to be well known as a salmon fishing river.

No mention of a season ticket for seniors? Other beats on the Wye at Hay have them. I pay £40 downstream from the Gliss on The Warrington Anglers Club beat.
