Llandovery Angling Association Lower Water, River Tywi

A cracking bit of Tywi below Llandovery, with over three miles of double-bank water from just below the chain bridge down to Cwmgwyn Farm. It’s classic sewin water, with deep pools, lively runs and clean gravel underfoot.

The lowdown

  • The Lower Water sits below Llandovery town and runs through rich meadowland. Proper open, wandering river country.
  • It starts just below the chain bridge and carries on downstream to Cwmgwyn Farm — over three miles of fishing to explore.
  • The Tywi meanders through deep holding pools, faster runs and neat riffles. Plenty of different water to pick apart.
  • The River Bran adds extra flow to this reach, so the character can change nicely through the beat.
  • The riverbed is clean gravel and wading is described as easy and safe. Still, keep your eyes on the crease and changing depth.
  • This is classic fly-fishing water for sewin, and the holder says single-handed rods are suitable. A lovely setup for working the pools and glides.
  • Wet spring conditions can produce large sewin over ten pounds. From mid-June, the main run is often four to five pounds.
  • July, August and September can bring smaller shoal sewin, while salmon become more numerous as the season progresses.
  • There’s no vehicular access to the association waters. Access points are signposted along the A4069 towards Llangadog, with maps from the holder showing access, boundaries and parking information.

Methods: Fly fishing is the main game here, especially for sewin with a single-handed rod. The published Tywi rules also allow spinning, plus limited worm fishing for sea trout during the stated season.

Coarse fishing on English rivers is closed from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. That's the law for coarse fish on rivers — it's not a club rule, and game-fishing seasons work differently.
