Barmouth

Fishing

Waters around Barmouth and the Mawddach valley provide splendid sport for sea, fly and coarse fishing. The inland lakes are stocked with Rudd, Roach and Perch, whilst the estuaries of the Mawddach and Dovey are famed for Salmon and Sea Trout. Licences are required for all inland waters. Sea fishing off Barmouth offers sport with Mackerel, Dogfish, Skate etc.

Fishing trips depart from Barmouth harbour, tides and weather permitting. Local boats cater for parties and details can be obtained from Barmouth Tourist Information Centre. The dry land fisherman can try his/her expertise from the beach or within the harbour limits.

The Dolgellau Angling Association have some of the best freshwater Salmon and Sea Trout fishing in Wales on 13 miles of the Rivers Mawddach and Wnion with the ‘hotspots’ being the Reed Pool, High Bank and Junction Pool. The Association also owns the fishing rights on Llyn Cynwch situated by Precipice Walk near Llanfachreth. It is stocked every 2 - 3 weeks throughout the season with Brown and Rainbow Trout from the Hatchery at Machynlleth. The largest Rainbow Trout caught was a monster 13.5 lbs.
