Angling... |
Flowing 75 miles from its source in the Cambrian Mountains to its estuary in Carmarthen Bay the Towy is the longest river flowing entirely in Wales. The river rises only eight miles from the source of the Teifi and flows through beautiful wild countryside renowned for its red kites and castles - passing the towns of Llandovery, Llandeilo and Carmarthen before joining the sea below the impressive ruins of Llansteffan Castle East of Pendine sands.
The river and its tributaries such as the Cothi and Gwili is renowned for its Salmon fishing and fishing (especially at night with the fly) for the Sewin the welsh name for sea trout is recognised as some of the best in Europe.
There are numerous quality private beats with day fishing available on the river, but if you require something a bit less formal and more economical there are many angling associations along the whole length of the river offering annual, weekly or day ticket fishing at a reasonable price.
Other good fishing rivers in the county include the Loughor, Aman, Taf, parts of the Teifi and rivers Gwendraeth.

Felindre Trout Fishery
http://www.shimanofelindre.co.ukSatellite View
01792 796584 - Felindre Trout fishery has been around for many years; it was opened in 1989 and quickly established its reputation as an excellent trout fishery. The fishery grew fast over the first 5 years; but there was a dark cloud on the horizon. In 1995 most of the country was hit by one of the worse droughts in many a year and it seemed that Felindre was taking the full brunt of it. January and February were very dry months and without the winter rains, the water levels of the lake were dropping by 2 inches a day. There was a stock of very large fish in the stocking ponds, ready for a charity day competition. March came and went and by the second week of April the lake had lost 4ft of water. By the Easter weekend things were looking very serious, no sign of rain, very hot and fish were starting to die. Felindre wasn’t the only fishery in trouble; many reports were coming in throughout the UK of losses of thousands of brown & rainbow trout, because of the very hot weather, low water levels and no sign of rain. By the beginning of June the lake was all most empty and hundreds of fish had perished, many more would have to be killed and there was nothing that could be done. By the end of July the lake had completely dried up, not even a trickle of water was coming from the streams that once fed this lovely lake...
