 IF your passion is fishing, then Wales is the ideal place for you.
The country has a wealth of rivers and lakes in a variety of stunning locations and choosing where to fish is often more difficult than actually catching the fish.
The reservoirs of Wales are set in such scenery that you would be forgiven for thinking they had always existed, these, together with small fisheries of quality; provide the angler with plenty of choice.
Welsh rivers account for more than half the sea trout caught in England and Wales and wild brown trout are abundant, whether you fish the famous rivers or intimate brooks; the stunning lowland lakes or the majestic highland lakes, the challenge is the same.
Wales has always had quality grayling fishing, but the choice of rivers is now expanding, the rivers of South Wales are gaining a high reputation for the quality of their grayling. One thing is certain when you have fished in Wales; you will treasure the memories.
The magnificent sea trout rivers of West Wales, remote mountain lakes holding wild trout and arctic char, vast lowland lakes and reservoirs and boulder strewn streams all hold a special place in the heart of any game angler who has had the pleasure to fish them.
With nearly 750 miles of varied coastline Wales has something to offer any sea angler whatever his or her chosen quarry. Exploring the rocky, kelp-strewn shores of the Llyn Peninsular searching for pollack, wading amongst the dramatic rolling surf of Atlantic storm beaches in expectation of that arm wrenching take from a bass, braving a frosty morning aboard a cod seeking charter vessel, just take your pick.
And the coarse fisherman is also spoilt for choice in Wales with stillwater, canal and river fisheries of note. Vast lowland lakes which hold monster pike, carp fisheries which haven’t changed since the time of the monasteries, huge numbers of excellent private fisheries, rivers where double figure barbel are commonplace. Who said Wales was only a game fisherman’s destination was either a fool or keeping all the coarse fishing to himself.
