Downstream of Hay the Wye takes on a leisurely, meandering character, with a more uniform width and depth. Some of the Wye's most productive salmon fishing beats can be found in this part of the river, which generally fishes best at medium to low water levels.
The middle and lower reaches also provide the best of the coarse fishing opportunities, with barbel, chub and pike being the main target species. Dace, perch and roach can also be found here.
