Fishery on the market near Bunch of Carrots, Herefordshire

Fishing rights at the Carrots Fishery in Hampton Bishop, which is historically known for its salmon fishing, are currently for sale with Balfours.

Located in the middle Wye, roughly 1 mile downstream of Hampton Bishop, Carrots Fishery is arguably some of the “river’s best fishing” offering salmon, trout and coarse fishing wrote Balfours.

The Bunch of Carrots pub has car parking and is the main route of access to the Fishery. A metaled drive-along also gives access to a further car parking area and fishing hut with both vehicular and pedestrian access to the rest of the fishery.

This section of the Wye is around 2.4 miles of both double and single bank fishing. There are some deep salmon pools with a mix of quick and slow-moving water for the range of target species.

The two beats, one upper and one lower, offer pools of good quality fly water. The fishery is owned by two moieties with the beats being shared on alternating weeks. The Upper Beat is approximately 1,670 metres of double bank and 91 metres of single bank fishing. The Lower Beat is around 1,403 metres of double bank and 739 metres of single bank fishing.

The fishing is 2/12ths of a syndicate that owns 50 per cent of the fishing rights. This interest is apportioned as two rods on Monday with two rods on Sundays on a rota arrangement between syndicate members according to Balfours.
