We lease a stretch on the Usk upstream of Newbridge. It's open now and If you wish to fish it contact Denis Ballet (chairman) and he will tell you how to get a ticket.
It's a tidal stretch so you need to be aware of tide times and particularly the height of the tide, so its best fished on the lower tides.
The usual rules apply. No litter, return any game fish, close all gates etc. Last year there was a rather large bull in the field that allows access to most of the stretch.........so wear dappers!!!!
