About Old Clytha
Old Clytha is about 470 yards (400 metres) of left bank on the Usk, suited to a few hours of trout or salmon fishing. The Croy pool is a noted salmon catch and lovely fly water, and the rest of the beat suits trout. You can fish the whole of Croy from the bank. The section above it is a long, shallow-ish glide suited to wading up the middle of the river and picking off rising trout. Right at the top of the beat a deeper pool holds some big trout but can only be fished for salmon with a spinner. Parking is around 300 metres from the river.
Trout fishing is fly only, with a bag limit of two and any trout over 2lb to be returned. For salmon, fly fishing and spinning (when byelaws allow) are permitted and bait is not, and 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.
