Fishing in Wales - The country with thousands of angling opportunities!
(14)
Wales is a country of true natural beauty, where green valleys, rugged mountains and rolling hills surround countless lakes, meandering rivers and crystal-clear streams. Complementing this breath–taking scene are hundreds of miles of rocky coast and sandy shore, all of which combine to make fishing in Wales varied and exciting for the angler. Plentiful coarse fishing species can be found in Wales,
including pike, barbel, perch, carp and chub, all of which grow to specimen size. Our inland lakes and rivers abound with wild trout, we also have sea trout in good numbers and salmon runs on our major rivers. Welsh seas and estuaries have plentiful stocks of bass, mullet, mackerel, cod, rays, tope and smooth–hound – to name but a few of the species you will encounter in the salt. Fishing in Wales is an outdoor activity that can be enjoyed as a solo angler, with friends or with the family; a place where our three special national parks have been voted the most beautiful destinations in the world, and everywhere you go, exceptional fishing can be found. As well as offering world-beating scenery to fish in, with an abundance of species, Welsh waters provide some of the best value angling opportunities available in the British Isles. Sea fishing from the shore is free, and ticket options offered by Welsh angling clubs, associations and fisheries offer a quality freshwater angling experience, often at a value that will astound. Organisations such as the Wye and Usk Foundations’ Fishing Passport offer public access to private and exclusive fishing beats, for game and coarse fish – where a quality fishing experience awaits. What’s more, Wales is easy to get to, with transport routes that will take you directly to the best fishing – whether you come from the wider UK, Europe or beyond. But despite us being easy to reach, wherever you go fishing in Wales you will always find solitude and tranquillity – the ultimate getaway from modern life.

A quality bass on the fly from a North Wales mark! Wales has a lot of potential for fly and lure caught bass, even at this time of year. If things settle down again the bass fishing may carry on for a month or more yet.
Rob Redman had a great night's fly fishing on the north west coast of Wales including this bass estimated between 5lb-8lb. The flies used where a mix of bait fish, shrimp imitations and surface lures.

It's that time of year again when salmon and trout spawn. If you are grayling or coarse fishing and need to wade, avoiding 'redds' is good practice.
Redds are nests where salmonid fish have laid their eggs, which if disturbed and trampled on may cause egg and fry mortality. Find out more on the link below.
November has brought excellent conditions for fishing across Wales so far, Here’s a quick roundup of what’s been happening.

The South Wales Fishing Society have worked hard to develop waters in their local area, including the Lower Lliw reservoir which has recently been stocked heavily with some fantastic rainbow trout to 18lb! The venue is a multi method fishery and is open all year - it should be well worth a try this winter. Tickets can be purchased through the clubs website.

Grayling fishing has been excellent recently, with stable river levels (for a change!) It's well worth getting out there and enjoying our grayling rivers, during what is a wonderful time of year to be on the water.

There have been some great catches of bass recently around Welsh coastlines!
With calm weather and low swell recently, lure fishing has been especially productive. Fantastic sport can be found in our many estuaries and from rock marks.
