About the River Bran (Usk)

The River Bran, Nant Brân in Welsh, is a short river that rises on the southern slopes of Mynydd Epynt and joins the Usk at Aberbrân, three miles west of Brecon. Its upper reaches lie inside the Sennybridge Training Area, and it runs past the hamlet of Llanfihangel Nant Brân on the way. Brân is the Welsh word for crow, which may refer to the dark colour of the water. It is not the Afon Brân that flows to the Tywi.

River Bran (Usk) FAQs

Common questions about fishing the River Bran (Usk), from day tickets and seasons to what to expect on the bank.

Much of the water is privately managed, but plenty of it is open to visiting anglers through day tickets, syndicate places, and club memberships. FishingBeats lists 1 beat on the River Bran (Usk), and each beat page shows who runs the water and how to book.

02How much does it cost to fish the River Bran (Usk)?

Prices vary by beat, season, and how many rods share the water. Whatever you book, an Environment Agency rod licence is needed on top of the ticket.

03When is the fishing season on the River Bran (Usk)?

The statutory trout season varies by region: on the Hampshire chalk streams such as the Test and Itchen it runs 3 April to 31 October, while rivers in the Thames catchment, including the Kennet, close on 30 September. Many fisheries set shorter dates of their own within that window, and grayling fishing carries on through the winter on many beats. Check the permit dates on each beat page before you book.

05Do I need a licence to fish the River Bran (Usk)?

Yes. Anyone aged 13 or over fishing for trout, salmon, or coarse fish in England needs a valid Environment Agency rod licence, bought online in daily, weekly, or annual form. It's separate from the beat ticket or syndicate fee, so factor it in before you go.
