OVERVIEW

Over part of this beat we have double-bank fishing. The right bank fishery, near Llandyfriog, comprises 1320 yards, while on the left bank we have a 720 yard stretch near Pentrecagal.

In summer the lower 300 yards of the right bank fishing is shallow and an ideal place for practising Spey casting; in spring it sometimes holds salmon. The rest of the right bank fishery is a sequence of pools and riffles, and provides opportunities for brown trout, sea trout (sewin) and salmon fishing.

Pwll Artie, mid-way along this beat, has high banks and is best fished by wading and casting beneath the trees opposite. Although mainly noted as a sea-trout pool, this spot has also produced some big brown trout in recent years.

At the top of the beat there is a large pool on a sharp bend. There are deep water lies on our bank and just one or two places where rocky ledges afford good casting positions. Spinning is very productive in this pool when the river is high, and on warm summer nights the sea trout (sewin) fishing there can be exceptionally good.

On the left bank, the best of the fishing is in the field below Afon Teifi Caravan Park; the rest of the beat, all of which is double-bank fishing, is best approached from the right (Ceredigion) bank.

Beat number 15, comprising 1320 yards of right bank fishing and 720 yards of left-bank fishing, was purchased by Llandysul A A in September 1973.

BEST FOR

This is a very lightly fished beat. It has fantastic holding water along the length of the beat, along with a couple of faster runs that are certainly worth covering for salmon, sea trout (sewin) and brown trout. The beat does fish particularly well at night for sea trout (sewin), with the wading being gentle and the back cast being open, especially around the middle and lower section.

ACCESS

The right bank fishery is accessible from the A475 Newcastle Emlyn to Lampeter Road a mile east of Llandyfriog. Parking is available in a layby (please see image below), and the access path is via a farm gate marked with a Llandysul A A orange sign. The path, beside a small stream (often dry in summer), takes you beneath a railway bridge (please see image below), through a second gate and on past the marshland site of Castell Henllys Moat to a large meadow. The riverbank bounds the far side of this meadow, a walk of some 250 yards.

On the left bank, the access (no vehicles) is via Afon Teifi Caravan Park, which borders part of our fishing.

On the right bank our lower limit is at the fence immediately above a deep pool. The footpath comes to an end at the upper limit on the right bank.
