The Bran is an Usk tributary that flows south off the Epynt before entering the main Usk just below Aberbran Bridge. This particular beat starts around a mile upstream from the confluence and holds a good head of wild brown trout.

The stream provides a combination of bed rock channels, gravel beds and riffles with some fantastic deeper pools along its length. The fishing is right bank only with good wading and is ideal for trout anglers to work their way quietly upstream.

Ideally fished with a 6.5 to 7.5ft, 1 to 4wt rod.
