Nestled in the heart of the Wye Valley on a private estate, this fishery is approximately one mile (1.6km) of right bank fishing down to the small confluence of the Bishopswood Brook. Having been left largely untamed and run as a “wild” fishery for a number of years, Thomas Wood is now under new management as of 2018 and has undergone a complete overhaul with new swims, bank clearance and best of all, vehicle access through an exclusive private estate with bankside parking! What was once a 20 minute walk to this amazing Wye Valley fishery is now accessible with your vehicle and even boasts the ability for you to drop your gear right to your swim. The fishery now features three styles of fishing landscape: meadow fishing, woodland fishing and wild fishing in this beautiful valley. This stretch of the River Wye is well known for its amazing barbel fishing. It is also home to some very large chub, trout and grayling and is world renowned for its magnificent salmon. Due to its past inaccessibility, this particular beat has not been put under high pressure, having been rarely fished over the last few years, so offers a unique opportunity to gain access to an otherwise unfished portion of this famous fishing river. Offering up a variety of cribs and pools, not only is the barbel and salmon fishing a must, we are also very excited at the opportunity of some monstrous pike. The location itself can only be described as stunning, with breathtaking views of the Wye Valley nestled in the Courtfield Estate, home to wild herds of fallow deer and circling buzzards. The sheer variety of landscape & fishing styles encompassed in this beat provides for every type of angler - whether you’re looking for the comfort of easy access fishing or an angling adventure, Thomas Wood is the ideal destination.
