The Trout season begins on the 3rd March on the Usk and there are eager fishermen out there who are keen to brave the Spring weather and have a go for an early season Brownie. The Usk is known for its hatches of March Browns & Large Dark Olives early in the season; fast and furious, too long for lunch and you will miss it. It is around midday to 2 o’clock that these hatches suddenly erupt.
We have put together a couple of flexible 3-day fishing breaks for March so you can get some early season fly fishing with the comfort of Gliffaes to come back to after a chilly day on the river. Whether you wish to come on your own or with a partner or if two of you would like to fish we have a package for most options.
More tips for early season fishing on the Usk from guide, Frank Williams.
