The close season for freshwater fishing is rapidly closing in on us. For many, it’s the tie to go to commercial fisheries or switch to tidal sea fishing. The River Usk in Newport offers a wide range of locations for sea fishing on the tidal stretch of the River Usk.
Tidal river fishing is a great option during the current cost of living crisis. It doesn’t cost anything to fish except the cost of bait. This makes it a great option if you want to avoid the cost, and sometimes high cost, of fishing in commercial lakes and fisheries.
But what if you are disabled and have mobility issues? Are there any options for fishing on the tidal Usk in Newport if you are a wheelchair user? There are not many options but there are a few good locations that are suitable for disabled fishing. In this video, I take a look at the best places for wheelchair fishing on a visit to the River Usk in Newport, South Wales.
I miss beach fishing I am in my 70th year and have all the equipment I need but my knees have failed. I seek somewhere safe to fish and a hotel room nearby.
