Angling

Rivers, lakes and reservoirs are plentiful in the Brecon area and offer various kinds of angling, with the Brecon Beacons providing a beautiful backdrop to the River Usk. The river is inhabited by brown trout and salmon, as well as many other species, including minnows, stone loach and bullheads.

A number of birds can occasionally be spotted along the river: kingfishers, dippers and sometimes sandmartins, and the River Usk is an important bat corridor. The Usk is considered to be one of Wales’ premier game fishing rivers. Angling information and permits may be purchased (cash sales only) from the Visit Brecon office.
