General Information

A new stretch of the Vyrnwy for 2015 containing barbel, chub and trout. The overhanging trees on the far bank will provide plenty of cover for chub in the summer months and there are fast flowing sections as well as deeper pools to be found on this superb stretch of river. The lower half is good for trotting in many places whilst the many alder and willow lined pegs provide good stalking locations, pikers will also find some decent specimens. In addition, salmon are reported to have frequented this ¾ mile long stretch.

Directions   

Driving south towards Oswestry, follow the signs for Welshpool. Continue past Llanymynech to Four Crosses then turn right onto the B4393 and drive approximately 3 miles to Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain. You will cross a bridge over the Vyrnwy and turn right onto the A495 and drive approximately 1 mile  until the road bends right with some stone buildings on your left, turn left just after the buildings onto Lletty Lane, follow this track for 400m and take the next right, entrance to the farm is on the right 20m down the track, proceed through the entrance gate and park in the farm yard ensuring you do not block access to the out buildings and you have closed the main gate. Proceed on foot through the small gate on the right of the farmyard and then through the larger gate on your left and straight ahead until you reach the river. Warning!! The hill is very steep by the gate so take care particularly when it is wet.
