Fishing trips in Wales

With 750 miles of coast and an interior scattered with pristine rivers and dotted with wild lakes, is it any wonder the fishing in Wales is among the very best in Britain?

Sea and coarse anglers have set British records in our waters. Game anglers adore rivers like the Wye and our wild brown trout lakes. We can’t guarantee the fish will bite. Beautiful scenery and escapism is another matter.
