Llangadog Towy Water

River level

The lowdown

• The club water is divided into two beats, giving you a decent spread of river to explore rather than just one short section.
• The upper beat sits above and below Llangadog river bridge, with around a quarter of a mile of left-bank fishing.
• The main beat is the bigger prospect at roughly 1.5 miles, running from Railway Bridge Pool down to the bottom bend.
• Crewil Pool is the headline swim here. It’s described as one of the river’s best holding pools, so naturally it’s a spot worth giving proper time.
• There are several other pools and runs through the main beat. Have a wander, read the water and look for the creases, deeper pots and steady glides.
• This is classic Tywi-style fishing, with enough variety for traditional salmon and sewin approaches. Pool work, searching runs and covering likely lies are all part of the game.
• The 24-hour ticket runs from 7am to 7am. That gives you a full day, plus the chance to carry on into the night for sea trout.
• Night fishing is explicitly allowed on this beat, which is a cracking bonus when the sewin are on the munch and conditions look right.
• The water is easily accessible, with parking areas and beat access points shown on the fishing map. From the parking, expect gentle walks down to the river.
• Only five day-ticket anglers are allowed per day. It’s still club water, though, so absolute exclusivity isn’t guaranteed. Dogs are welcome but must be kept under control.

Methods: A proper mixed Tywi approach suits it: work the pools for salmon and sea trout, then cover the runs and glides. The 24-hour ticket also opens the door to night-time sea-trout fishing.

Access & tickets

Llangadog Angling Limited, formerly Llangadog Angling Association, offers an all-species day ticket for £20 for 24 hours. The ticket runs from 7am to 7am and permits day fishing followed by night fishing for sea trout.
