Additional information;
Approximately 1¼ mile of mostly double bank main river fishing some 7 miles downstream of Builth Wells, near the village of Erwood. Ty Newydd is a beautiful section of upper Wye that has excellent fly fishing for salmon, trout and grayling throughout its length. Despite having some quality pools, the beat is relatively under fished for salmon. The Wye is substantial in width here (approx 70 yards) and is suitable for expert and less experienced fly fishers alike.
Two of the salmon pools have boards to ease the burden of wading but these are awaiting repair and should be used with extreme caution if at all: remember you must wear studs to stand on these – felt offers no grip whatsoever. Otherwise, if wading, felt or studded soles are an absolute must.
The beat has dedicated off road and gated parking with a walk of approx 200 yards to the downstream end of the beat. There is no public right of way along the beat, it is set away from the main road and offers tranquility and wildlife watching aplenty, including kingfishers and occasional otters. Erwood has a pub, the Wheelwright Arms which serves food and coffee – there are also public loos in the village.
