Our Beacons provide sport for both the game and coarse fisherman. The Usk - a spate river - is an important wild brown trout and salmon fishery. Good quality sport is available from March to September. Waders and buoyancy aides are essential. Talybont reservoir is stocked with brown trout and day fishing permits can be purchased from a nearby ticket machine. The Canal provides fun fishing for roach, perch, dace and chub. It is ideal for the younger person, perhaps just learning to fish and looking for a safe but productive day!

Environment Agency licences can be purchased from the village shop in Talybont. Links: 'Fishing in Wales' and 'Fishing in Kite Country' , 'Fishing To Let'
