OVERVIEW

Please note that both banks of this beat are classified as ‘Odds & Evens’. To understand more about this rule, please click HERE – point 11.6.

This is one of Llandysul Angling Association’s most productive salmon and sea trout fisheries; however, great care is necessary, especially on the right bank where access is via a rocky gorge. Also, wading can be tricky with the amount of bedrock present, so this is not a beat for those who have mobility issues or are not confident waders.

Below the rapids, the gorge itself is rocky and stable, but the pool at the end of the gorge alters in most big spates as gravel is carried downstream.

On the right bank, the route down to the pools at the bottom of the gorge is not recommended for anyone who finds rough ground a problem.

Formerly part of the Cilgwyn Estate, beat number 13 comprises approximately a mile of fishing on the right bank of the Teifi just below Llandysul Bridge plus a further mile on the left bank. We rented the fishery for many years before purchasing it in September 1994.

BEST FOR

A fantastic sea trout beat, especially on a falling flood or when night fishing. This is one of the best beats for sea trout on the whole river and has been noted in many articles over the years. The beat can also produce salmon, especially in higher water with both fly and spinner.

There isn’t a huge amount of fishable water, so the beat will only occupy 2 -3 rods at a time, with the rods covering holding water, rather than moving down through a pool in a classical fashion.

ACCESS

On the left bank, there is parking in a lay-by signed from the Pont Tyweli access road from the new Llandysul Bypass. There is a sign on the end of the road and also alongside the stile (please see the image below for reference). The layby / unused lane is close to a very big, disused mill.

The right bank access is from the Ceredigion end of Llandysul Bridge, via a cart track running alongside the river. Members are asked to avoid parking on the track.

On the left bank, the upper limit of our fishing is the confluence of the River Tyweli. The fishing extends  about 100 yards into the fast-water run downstream of the pool tail. A fence bearing an orange end-of-beat marker denotes the boundary.

The upper limit on the right bank is marked by an orange sign on an oak tree some 50 yards below Llandysul Bridge.

On the right bank, a fence ten yards upstream of the pool tail denotes the end of our fishing (In practice the bank is so wooded that it is difficult to use the last 20 yards of the fishery from this bank).
