We cannot stress enough the importance of making quick and accurate returns of salmon catches, even if nothing has been caught. Recording catch data is one (perhaps the best, certainly the most cost effective) way of determining the success of our river restoration works. Although affected by short term variations in weather and water conditions, the longer term data set will build an accurate picture of our salmon runs. Catch returns can be made quickly via our online form for both Passport and non-Passport waters. Most of our reporting is from the Wye. Where a salmon has come from another river we will state accordingly.

Please note that due to rising water temperatures, [b]salmon, trout and pike fishing[/b] has been suspended on Wye & Usk Passport participating beats, below Builth Wells & Brecon until further notice. This suspension will be reviewed daily but we ask that no booking of this type is made until further notice. Trout (and grayling) fishing remains open above Builth Wells & Brecon. Should water temperatures rise much further, we will need to consider suspensions here too. In the meantime, it is especially important that anglers follow good catch & release techniques to ensure fish survival. If you are booked to fish in the immediate future, or have any concerns, please email admin@fishingpassport.co.uk
