A true hidden gem for coarse fishing in Wales, this three pool fishery set in 96-acres of stunning Welsh countryside, two miles from Raglan and its famous castle and six miles from Monmouth and the beautiful Wye Valley.
Whether you enjoy coarse fishing, pleasure fishing or match fishing, you will find it all here at Pen-y-clawdd.
Each pool has its own unique character, and mood, which will keep the angler guessing what they will catch next. Stocking levels are such that even during the coldest months, you can be sure the rods will always have a nice curve in them.

A toilet has been installed on the Fishery so getting caught short will not be a problem. If we are hosting any matches these details will be shown on this website, matches take place match pool ONLY so there is always two other pools to choose from on match days.

We do not permit large groups or take group booking (no more than 3 in any given party) and we encourage the ‘quieter anglers’ who are simply looking for a good day of fishing in the peace and quiet of the beautiful Welsh countryside.
