Season Rods & The 'Salmon Visa'
Many 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'.

Llanover
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
