The Usk Tributaries
As well as being a premier Welsh salmon river the Usk is also acclaimed as one of the best wild trout rivers in the UK. The Welsh name for the river is "Afon Wysg", appropriately meaning "river abounding in fish."
Starting at the Usk reservoir, the river flows in an easterly direction through stunning scenery, passing to the north of the Brecon Beacons before starting to take a more southerly bearing through Abergavenny and the town of Usk itself, joining the Bristol Channel at Newport.
Most of the Usk fishing available through the Foundation is via the Booking Office where wonderful trout, salmon and some sea trout fishing can be found. The quality of Usk tributary trout fishing is well reflected in the difficulty in obtaining it. We have, however, six wonderful Usk beats for you to try in the Roving Voucher scheme.
