Fishing in Cardigan Bay

Angling, including great sea fishing, and the thrill of game fishing on the rivers for salmon and sea trout make Cardigan Bay West Wales a great place to fish.
Sea Fishing
Cardigan Bay has a wonderfully indented and spectacular coastline.
It includes
splendid beaches offering bass and
mullet and cod in winter and many rocky shores where pollack, wrasse, mackerel
and conger lurk. The estuaries also attract flatfish, dabs, dogfish, bass,
turbot and if you get lucky a tope.
Fishing and exploring by boat is a stunning way of experiencing Cardigan
Bay. Charter boats are available and there are plenty of places to launch
your own boat between St Dogmaels and New
Quay.

Game Fishing
More than half the sea trout caught in England and Wales are caught in
Welsh rivers and the fabulous river Teifi is home to salmon, sea trout
(sewin), brown trout and grayling.
June to August are the best months to find the sea trout running with salmon
running earlier in the spring and throughout September to early October.
Cenarth Falls is a traditional beauty spot to to see the salmon leap and
the whole river offers a majestic tranquillity rare in Britain today.
Rod
licences for fishing salmon and trout can be obtaine over the internet
via the Environment Agency website or at post offices. For more information
