A few miles from the source of the river Usk, this remote upland 280 acre reservoir is set amongst forest and moorland in the Brecon Beacons National Park. It is regarded as one of the best still water trout fisheries in Wales with fly fishing, spinning and worm fishing all permitted (the western end of the water is fly fishing only). Power Bait (or anything similar) are NOT PERMITTED.

The wild brown trout population is supplemented with stocking of rainbows. For fly fishermen, standard reservoir nymphs and lures are recommended. ALL BROWN TROUT MUST BE RETURNED.

There is no boat fishing on site in 2025 due to maintenance works scheduled near to the dam. This will not impact the bank fishing, aside from in the immediate area of the works.

Opening hours : 8am to 7pm – 9pm (½ hour after sunset or 9pm, whichever is earlier).

Junior Ticket (Under 16 yrs)
