OVERVIEW

At Cellan we have a very good trout fishing beat. This is a ‘Fly Only’ beat. Mature trees shade the river in many places, and there are stretches where the river races swiftly, making dry fly fishing  challenging but often rewarding. Here at Cellan, you are in Kite’s Country. That was the name of a TV programme in the 1960s, when the late Oliver Kite used to show viewers how to catch wild brown trout. The Teifi was his favourite venue for fishing during the March Brown hatch.

The Cellan fishery, comprises a mile and a half of fishing, some being on the right bank, some on the left bank, and, over a short stretch, some being double-bank fishing.

BEST FOR

This upper reaches beat is renowned for its trout fishing and is fortunate to be located above Lampeter Bridge, which means that it opens on the 3rd March for trout fishing, whereas beats downstream of this point open on the 1st of April.

ACCESS

This beat is accessed from the B4343 Cwmann to Llanfair Clydogau road, fifty metres or so upstream from the Church at Cellan.

Parking places are available in laybys; please do not block farm gates. There is a verge / layby opposite the Church in Cellan, which should be your primary option.
