Llanover Estate River Usk Fishing

A cracking two-mile slice of the River Usk at Llanover, with three seasonal beats and room for two rods on each. It’s estate water aimed squarely at brown trout and salmon, with occasional day rods sometimes released through the Wye and Usk Foundation Fishing Passport.

River level integration coming for this stretch.

The lowdown

  • This is proper Llanover Estate water in the Usk valley, Monmouthshire, with the estate describing the river here as known for its salmon and brown trout quality.
  • There are roughly two miles of fishing split across three beats. Each beat is let for two rods, so it’s got a nicely limited, unhurried feel rather than a bun fight.
  • The fishing rights are mostly from both banks, giving anglers more chance of getting on the right side of the flow and working likely water properly.
  • The beats are let seasonally, and rods are available to purchase for the remainder of the 2026 season. Contact the estate for what’s currently available.
  • The Usk here is described as a trout and salmon river. Brown trout are a named target, while the Fishing Passport also lists sea trout for this location.
  • For trout, the stated season runs from 3 March to 30 September. The salmon season runs from 15 March to 17 October, so check the dates before setting off.
  • There’s no detailed beat-by-beat breakdown published, so expect to get the useful local steer from the estate office when arranging your rod. Bob on for planning the day.
  • The estate can provide information about booking a fishing ghillie. Handy if you want help reading the water, choosing a swim or making the most of a new beat.
  • Occasional day rods may be available through the Wye and Usk Foundation Fishing Passport, but availability isn’t guaranteed. It’s one to check rather than assume.
  • We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.

Methods: This is trout and salmon water, so tackle and approach will depend on the river conditions, season and the beat you’re allocated. Contact the estate about a fishing ghillie if you want a hand with the local water.
