Fishing in Wales is the no.1 website for Welsh angling, created by anglers for anglers. Where, when, how and what to fish for in Wales – we have it covered!

Fishing in Wales is a varied and exciting experience for the angler. Our hundreds of fishing lakes and rivers are full of trout, both wild and stocked. Sea trout and salmon run our rivers, while plentiful coarse fishing species can be found here; including pike, barbel, perch, grayling, carp and chub, all of which grow to specimen size. Welsh beaches and estuaries hold plentiful stocks of bass, mullet, mackerel, rays, tope and smooth-hound – to name but a few of the species you will encounter in the salt.

As a place to go fishing, Wales is a country of astonishing natural beauty. Green valleys, rugged mountains and rolling hills surround countless lakes, meandering rivers and crystal-clear streams, all of which hold fish. Complementing this breath-taking scene are hundreds of miles of dramatic rocky coast and sandy shore, all of which make Wales a special place for angling.

Fishing in Wales is an outdoor activity that can be enjoyed as a solo angler, with friends or with the family; a place where our three special national parks have been voted the most beautiful destinations in the world, and everywhere you go, exceptional fishing can be found. 
 
Welsh waters provide some of the best value angling opportunities available in the British Isles. Sea fishing from the shore is free, and ticket options offered by Welsh angling clubs, associations and fisheries offer a quality freshwater angling experience, often at a value that will astound. Organisations such as the Wye and Usk Foundations’ Fishing Passport offer public access to private and exclusive fishing beats, for game and coarse fish – where a quality fishing experience awaits.
 
What’s more, Wales is easy to get to, with transport routes that will take you directly to the best fishing – whether you come from the wider UK, Europe or beyond. But despite us being easy to reach, wherever you go fishing in Wales you will always find solitude and tranquility – the ultimate getaway from modern life.
