A Day of Salmon Fishing
The Glanusk Fishery has 3 beats: Below the Bridge, Above the Bridge and the Island Beat (available on request for one rod).
TROUT RULES:
Please return smaller trout, but please do keep those over 1lb in weight, fishermen are limited to keeping 2 for supper or lunch!
A Glanusk Hamper can be pre-ordered and delivered to you on the river bank by contacting the Estate Office on 01873 810414. The Estate pub, the Nantyffin Cider Mill, welcomes our fishermen and women for all types of refreshment. This is situated on the north bank on the 'Below the Bridge' beat.
If it is dry and firm under foot, we are more than happy for you to drive up and down the river bank. If, however, it is wet, please use the designated car parking areas that you will find on the Glanusk Fishery Beat Map (available from the office).
Access to the Island Beat is via the Gliffaes Gate next to the entry to the hotel on the north side of the river.
Ghillies and guides are available on request, as is tuition.
Valid for 12 Months
The Glanusk Estate operates a full Catch and Release system for Salmon and Sea Trout. Owing to diminishing stocks in the Usk it is vital we retain as many fish of both genders to allow re-generation of the river and its tributaries. This is in support of the recommendations of the Usk Fishing Association.
There will be no spinning or bait fishing on the Estate water unless the river is above 2 feet on the bridge gauge after 31st May to the end of the season.
Fishermen are requested to adhere to the Wye & Usk Foundation and AST methods for catch and release, and release fish as quickly and safely as possible. We would prefer you to use barbless hooks for salmon fishing but no Trebles are allowed on the Estate Fishery.
