Season Rods & The 'Salmon Visa'

Season RodsMany anglers prefer to secure their fishing for the season, safe in the knowledge that they are guaranteed fishing on a beat of their choice. Traditionally season lets have been for a named day per week. Many Wye and Usk fisheries still operate this kind of system although new, more flexible types of season rod are becoming more common. One of these is what we call 'The Salmon Visa'.

The Tyr Afon, Fro Isaf and Bryn beats in the middle reaches of the River Usk constitute some of the finest fishing on this famous Welsh river. In beautiful and varied scenery, the fishing extends to 2 miles and the rights to fish are mostly from both banks.
The beats provide interesting and varied salmon and trout water in delightful surroundings. The Usk is noted as an early river for native brown trout and, in most years the occasional salmon will have taken up residence in March. With an annual average of 64 salmon caught per season over the three beats, the water also provides excellent opportunities for brown and sea trout fishing.
The river is a notified Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and European Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The Estate is strong supporter of the Wye and Usk Foundation, which is an independent charity which is working on the Usk and Wye river systems to enhance and protect the riparian environment. In addition to the piscatorial interest, there are other species which will delight visitors to the river, such as Otter, Kingfisher and Sandmartin.
As at 2nd March 2007, the following seasonal day rods are available.

Tuesday: 2 rods
Thursday: 1 rod
