About Glanusk Tymawr/Canal and Rivers Trust

Glanusk Tymawr/Canal and Rivers Trust is about half a mile of mostly single, right bank on the main Usk, a couple of miles downstream of Brecon. It is a merger of the Glanusk Tymawr and Canal and Rivers Trust waters, and it can be booked from Monday to Thursday. The Passport says the combined fishery gives salmon anglers some excellent opportunities, and the whole beat has fantastic trout fishing, from dry fly flats to faster pocket water.
