The River Teifi, the longest river which is wholly in Wales, flows 75 miles from its source in the Cambrian mountains to it’s estuary at Cardigan. Meandering through lush meadows and rolling hills, tripping over shallow riffles, crashing over falls and dropping into dark pools. The river makes its journey downstream.
It is in these lower reaches of the river that the angler can expect to catch Salmon and Sea trout fresh off the tide.
It is here just above these tidal limits that our association water begins and extends for some 30 miles upstream.
Warm weather/water warning
Warm water advice issued 9 July2025
With the extremely hot weather set to continue, NRW urge freshwater anglers to take extra care while fishing to help protect vulnerable fish stocks.
Some rivers and lakes have seen average daily water temperatures rise above 20°, especially on the lower Wye and Usk catchments for the past three weeks, too high for the safe return of a number of species, especially salmon, trout, grayling and pike
The hot weather may cause problems in some rivers, low river flows and elevated water temperatures can lead to increased levels of stress on fish populations. Catching fish in these conditions often leads to mortality, even after a careful release.
When water temperatures are over 20° degrees then many popular fish species are more likely to die after capture. Remember always keep your fish in the water while unhooking.
Do:
- Minimise time played and bring the fish in quickly.
- Handle the fish as little as possible and only with wet hands.
- Keep the fish in the water as much as possible – Total air exposure during the whole process should be under 10 seconds.
- Photograph fish in the water or lift just for just a few seconds – holding correctly (below the pectoral fins and on the tail wrist).
- Keep the fish in the water facing upstream to help it recover.
- Allow the fish to recover fully before releasing – the fish should be able to maintain an upright position and respond gently touching at the tail
Fish Moving – Notice
Salmon and Sewin have been seen moving in the river,. Last week a member landed two nice Sewin around three pounds each. If the forecast rain puts more water in the river we can expect some very good fishing.
