The Cammarch Hotel owns approximately nine kilometers of fishing along the rivers Cammarch and Irfon. A survey carried out August 2002 reported that in the stretch of river there were four basic species of fish found; Brown Trout, Chub, Grayling and Atlantic Salmon.

Fishing Costs
Our fishing is operated through the Wye & Usk Foundation passport system, this system not only allows you to fish our waters but also opens up considerable amounts of other rivers including the Eddw, Duhonw, Clywedod, Llynfi Dulas. This system also supports a European Union and Powys funded scheme to improve Welsh rivers.
Licence Note: For all our fishing you will need the appropriate Environment Agency Rod Licence. This may be obtained from Wye & Usk Foundation booking office, Post Offices and the EA wesite.
Cost per voucher - £3.00

Our fishing is a five voucher charge
(£15) per rod, per day.
