An introduction to Sea Trout fishing in Wales
Wales has the best sea-trout fishing in the United Kingdom. The sea-trout run from early April right through to September. With the large sea-trout first to appear followed by the smaller fish from mid June onwards. The fish run in all water conditions so throughout the season you are very likely to encounter fresh fish.
The sea-trout range in size from ¾lb to 20lb, although the average size is 2lb - 3lb with the seatrout run peaking in June, July and August.
An angler with four fine estuary caught Sea Trout
Most rivers in Wales which flow into the Irish Sea receive a run of sea trout, amongst the most famous are the Towy, Dyfi, Teifi, Mawddach and Conway, there are also a large number of very productive smaller streams such as Seiont, Dwyfawr, Ystwyth, Rheidol, Aeron, Nevern and the Cleddaus to name just a few. The once polluted South Wales streams have made a dramatic recovery, some of these such as the Taff, Neath and Ogmore now provide fishing, which is second to none.
Access is available to the holiday angler to both club and private waters on all these rivers, and you can organise both guiding and tuition if required to ensure an enjoyable trip.
