Pro Fishing Guide – Frank Williams sent me these few notes on fishing for trout in this cold spring weather Although the winter seems to be endless and the rivers have been slow to start showing their true potential, there are still fish to be caught at this time of year.

Gone Fishing
Gliffaes is one of the Last REAL fishing Hotels….you can see the river from your bedroom.
Situated 150 feet above the River Usk in the Brecon Beacons National Park the location is stunning and below the hotel, just a couple of minutes walk away, is the fishing.
Immediately below the hotel we have a mile of left bank fishing, divided into three beats . A short drive up river we have another three quarters of a mile of double bank fishing know as Llandetty. If that is not enough you can fish many miles of both the River Wye and Usk catchments with the Wye and Usk Passport.
While you are with us you will be most comfortable and well cared for, after all we have been looking after fishermen since 1948. If your partner does not want to sit on the river bank and watch the dippers and kingfishers then there are plenty of other distractions . Good locally souced food, an extensive wine list and a comfortable room you can be assured of.
Take a few minutes now to explore the rest of the site to re-assure yourself that Gliffaes is the place for your next fishing trip. Have a look at our rooms, find out more about dining here or learn more about the fishing using the menu on the left or read on….
Just thought this was the prefect place for a real break - beautiful views, excellent food, friendly but unobtrusive service. Don\'t change a thing.

How’s the River Fishing?
How indeed? Of course we are asked how the river is fishing the whole time and when I was sent this very well detailed and interesting fishing report by a fisherman, Richard Davies, who stayed last week at Gliffaes, I thought I should share it. Before I do I should say that the Usk has [...]
