West Wales Game Fishing

West Wales Game Fishing

This is a fishing trip with a difference – it is based around two superb sea trout rivers: the river Tywi (or Towy) being regarded as probably the best sea trout river in the UK, and the Eastern Cleddau is one of the most prolific of the smaller Welsh sea trout rivers.

You will be guided by River to River guides on one or more of the Golden Grove Estate Beats on the river Tywi and on Slebech Estate waters on the Eastern Cleddau, and you will have a full-time boatman on Rosebush Reservoir, which nestles in the Preseli Hills, and drift fish for wild brown trout.

Your accommodation will be at the prestigious Bluestone Resort situated in beautiful countryside in Pembrokeshire, just minutes away from the Eastern Cleddau river.
