Just to clarify, I am not necessarily saying the swims immediately up and down of the suspension bridge. I know you asked for good swims but personally I think you should at least half earn your first barbel 😉

HI chritian
thanks , managed to book a ticket on beat 1 so ill have a look on friday before i fish it on sunday, any help on where to park ,never been there before
 
Hi Richard, it sounds like you have booked on the Newport stretches? I haven’t fished those I’m afraid so can’t help. I fished the bit that I believe is referred to as Lower Symonds Yat and is through Wye and Usk or Angling Dreams.
 
Hi Richard
I fished the stretch opposite the pub and car park last year as we rented an house in the centre of the village and fished from the garden.
The one bit advice I was given as it was my first time at SY was to fish the inside line if not catching.
I had my PB chub plus many others mid way across , but the barbel all came from within a rod length or so of the bank.
Might be different on the day you fish but hope that helps.
Enjoy the stunning scenery .. a wonderful place to be.
