Night Fishing

No Night Fishing or overnight camping — CONFIRMED via the Wye & Usk Foundation's own policy page (fishingpassport.co.uk): "no night fishing or camping is permitted on any WUF coarse fishing water." Independently confirmed on several individual beat pages too (Courtfield, Wyebank, Home Fishery all state this explicitly). A rare exception exists for specific beats offering 24-hour sea trout tickets, per the Passport's own Terms & Conditions — but the Wye has only a minimal sea trout run, so this is unlikely to apply to any Wye beat in practice.
