About Greenbank
At just under a mile, Greenbank is right bank salmon and trout fishing on the lower Usk, which the Passport says suits a classic Usk day of salmon fishing when the trout are not rising and picking up the trout rod when they are. The top of the fishery is a deep, steady glide that runs into the large Tail pool, and the runs into and out of Tail are the spots the Passport picks out for a salmon. Below Tail the river is unstable and changes every year; it gives trout fishing with a chance of a salmon in the deeper holes, or of one on a falling spate when fish are running.
It is all in one large pasture field, so every pool is easy to reach, and the Passport says there are some very large trout. There is a parking enclosure on the beat that may only be reachable in a 4x4 in very wet conditions; parking in the field is not advised because stock may be present and may damage vehicles.
Trout fishing is fly only, with a bag limit of two and any trout over 2lb to be returned; salmon are catch and release at all times. Dogs are allowed if kept under control. The beat page prints no ticket price on 27 October 2026. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
