River Wye — Redbrook and Penallt

Redbrook Angling Club’s Wye water at Redbrook and Penallt offers both game and coarse fishing, with several salmon pools and a mix of fast and slow coarse swims. It’s members-only water, with local connections needed to join — not somewhere to turn up for a cheeky day ticket.

The lowdown

  • There’s a proper mix here: the club offers both game and coarse fishing on its Redbrook and Penallt waters. Several salmon pools are part of the water, alongside coarse swims with different flows.
  • The coarse fishing isn’t all one pace. Fast and slow water are both listed, so the club’s offering gives you more than one sort of swim to consider when planning your fishing.
  • Salmon, sea trout and brown trout are named by the club. That gives the game side a clear place in the picture, rather than this being purely a coarse-fishing membership.
  • For coarse anglers, the club names carp, chub, dace, pike, roach, perch, bream, eels and barbel. That’s a cracking spread, though the list covers the club’s waters rather than assigning fish to individual swims.
  • Redbrook Angling Club was established in 2004 and is managed by a committee of local anglers. Its fishing rights are leased from local fishery owners, covering water at Redbrook and Penallt.
  • Membership has a local catch: you need the specified residential or business connections. Eligible areas include Redbrook, Clearwell, Newland and Penallt, so check those requirements before getting your tackle plans sorted.
  • No day-ticket faff here — because there aren’t any. Fishing is members-only, and permits cannot be bought on the bank. Sort membership beforehand through the club, whose webpage sits on the Redbrook Village website.
  • The published subscriptions are undated, so confirm them before applying. Under-18 membership is free. Length, peg count and precise bank boundaries aren’t published, so don’t assume every nearby bit of bank is included.

Methods: Fast and slow coarse swims give you different flow options, alongside the club’s game fishing and salmon pools. No particular tackle methods are specified; check the club rules and relevant bylaws before choosing your approach.

Key rules

  • Permits cannot be purchased on the bank.
  • Membership requires specified local residential or business connections.
  • Club rules apply.
  • NRW/Environment Agency close seasons and bylaws apply.

Coarse fishing on English rivers is closed from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. That's the law for coarse fish on rivers — it's not a club rule, and game-fishing seasons work differently.
