BEAT 7 – MAESISAF

OVERVIEW

A mile north-east of Llanybydder on the A485, Llandysul Angling Association’s Maesisaf fishery, comprises approximately one mile of left bank fishing. Club members have a private car park near to the disused railway track.

There are plenty of good streamy runs on this fishery and some splendid salmon pools near the top and bottom of the beat. At the lower limit is Napier Pool, also a noted salmon and sea trout (sewin) hot spot. The Maesisaf fishery is a mile north-west of Llanybydder on the A485.

Much of the fishing towards the top of the beat is on a sweeping left-hand bend where the water is shallower on our bank and deeper on the far side.

BEST FOR

This has always been noted as one of the rare places where grayling can be caught on the Teifi. They are, however, sparsely populated, so set your expectations accordingly. The top of the beat has some beautiful little pools and runs, that are great for trout, sea trout (sewin) and salmon. The majority of the beat is very flat. This flat water is excellent water to fish for salmon and sea trout (sewin) during high water, but best avoided under low water conditions, unless you fish it in the late evening for the evening rise, where you often get fantastic sport on the trout. There are some fantastic brown trout present on this lightly fished beat.

ACCESS

Access is via a farm lane just inside the Pencarreg 40 mph limit on the A485 Llanybydder to Cwmann (Lampeter) road.

When we purchased this fishery, in January 1992, we also constructed a private car park for members. To get to the fishing, go through the gate at the rear of our car park, cross the field to a small stream, and follow that stream into the next field.
