BEAT 14A – TREBEDW
OVERVIEW
Trebedw is a short beat but very productive for sea trout. A strong, stock-proof fence on our bank ensures that cattle do not create a quagmire in the margins, yet the fence is far enough back that it does not cause a nuisance on the back cast.
Along the top 50 metres the river is shallow and tree-lined, deepening gradually on our (right) bank – the small tail right at the top of the beat is definitely worth a fish, but the shallower section below not so much. Over the remainder of the beat our bank is mainly clear, and sea trout tend to lie against the far bank – this bottom half of the beat is the cream of the fishing.
A few salmon are caught here each season. It is not noted as a trout fishery, although a few nice fish can be seen rising on summer evenings.
Wading along the beat is fairly easy and you do not need to wade deeply to cover the best holding water.
BEST FOR
A great sea trout (sewin) beat for night fishing, especially along the bottom half of the beat, which is a big, long glide and perfectly constructed for night fishing; lots of tress and bushes on the opposite bank and a nice, fishable depth.
The beat does also fish very well in the daytime on a falling flood with both fly and spinner, for both sea trout (sewin) and salmon.
ACCESS
With no official car park on this beat, members using the layby near the access point are requested to ensure that access to the field gate is not obstructed.
There is a single access path to the fishery, approximately a mile (1.5 km) from Henllan Bridge on the B4334. Access is via a lane at Trebedw village. The access point is marked by a public footpath sign (please see image below), and a path leads down to a gateway to the right of the house.
The beat starts just above where you will find our first stile. The beat ends in the corner of the field, where a treeline meets the river.
