A Warm Welcome from David Thomas - Fishing Guide

Most rivers in Wales which flow into the Irish Sea receive a run of sea trout, amongst the most famous of these rivers are the Teifi, Towy, Dyfi, Conway and Mawddach, there are also many productive smaller streams such as Nevern, Seiont, Dwyfawr, Ystwyth, Rheidol, Aeron and the Cleddaus to name just a few.

The once barely fishable polluted South Wales streams have made a good recovery in recent times and some of these such as the Taf, Neath and Ogmore now provide great fishing.

Access is readily available for the holiday angler to both club waters and private waters on all these beautiful rivers, and you can organise guiding and tuition if required to ensure a very enjoyable trip.


If your passion is sport fishing then you're not going to find any better angling than you will find in Wales.

The plethora of rivers and lacks in a wide array of places makes it harder to actually find a place to fish than it is to catch the fish themselves. You're in the right place when you visit Wales for sport fishing.

The outstanding rivers of Wales are credited with more than fifty percent of the sea trout which are caught each year in England and Wales. In combination with the vast number of really large sea trout which are caught each year in those rivers and lakes and as you can see, Wales is outstanding for fishing.

The brown trout of Wales are more than abundant, regardless of whether or not you fish the more famous and well fished rivers, or the quiet little brooks that seem to be in endless numbers. The lowland lakes are no less stunning, while the highland lakes are best termed majestic, but regardless of where you go the overall effect is the same. You are challenged by some of the best fishing opportunities to be found in the World. It will take all of your skill and knowledge to reel in the big ones, making this a breath taking experience.


Wales has some reservoirs that are set in scenery that will truly take your breath, together with the fishing that can't be beaten you're going to wish you had several more weeks to just explore the venues for fishing and the scenery of the area.

The grayling fishing has always been high quality, but your choice of rivers for this too is expanding constantly, with these rivers gaining a reputation for the top notch quality of the grayling caught here.

One thing is for sure. Once you've fished Wales, you've got memories to last a lifetime and you're going to return again and again.
