Fishing in Monmouthshire
Monmouthshire has some excellent fishing. Running through the scenic backdrop of the Brecon Beacons the Usk and Wye rivers are widely renowned as two of the best salmon rivers not only in Wales but also in the whole of the UK. They also hold large stocks of wild brown trout averaging 10oz.
