Safeguarding fishing interests on the river Usk
From time to time the UUFA publishes articles, written by association members or guest authors, covering contemporary issues affecting the river Usk, its eco-system and those who enjoy the sport it provides. In this section you can browse through an archive of everything we have published to date.
If you might be interesting in authoring an article that would interest members of the UUFA, please get in touch.
This interesting presentation made by the Wye and Usk Foundation at their Annual Meeting in October last year focuses on why we experienced such low salmon numbers last season and how our river is performing. Whilst there is information in this presentation that relates to the River Wye, it is still interesting to see how our river is performing.
At the end of this year the fate of every river in the country will be sealed in one of eleven River Basin Management Plans, as part of the Water Framework Directive.
This is a chance for the people who know their rivers best to make a difference and feed into the decision-making process.
The Wye & Usk Foundation believes that over-abstraction is adversely affecting the fisheries of the River Usk.Welsh Water’s main abstractions are from Usk, Crai and Talybont reservoirs in the upper valley, and from around Usk town to Llandegfedd reservoir and Court Farm treatment works. In addition, BritishWaterways take water for the Brecon canal from the main river at Brecon and from several tributaries.
Can the United Usk Fishermen’s Association influence new fishing bye laws?
