About Carmarthen Amateur Angling Association
Carmarthen Amateur Angling Association has some fourteen miles of fishing. The Passport calls its lower Towy (Tywi) beats arguably the finest club water on the lower river, and the association also has beats on the Cothi, Gwili and Cynin. Its highest Towy beat is only six miles above the high tide mark, so it is possible to take fresh run fish a few hours after they have entered the river.
A day or weekly ticket bought through the Passport covers nine beats. A weekly ticket is valid for seven consecutive days from the first date booked. The Cynin has the Gelliwen Waters, about one mile of both banks from the hamlet of Felindre near Llanwinio. The Cothi has the Pontynyswen and Ty Crug Waters, about two miles of left bank upstream from Pontynyswen Bridge to just beyond Ty Crug Farm. The Gwili has two beats: Glangwili Bridge to Bronwydd Waters (three miles) and Bronwydd Village to Dyffryn Gwili Waters (one and a half miles). The Towy has five: Dan yr Allt Waters (one mile, tidal, reached by a farm track just before the B4300 heading from Carmarthen), the Lower Beats of Bwlch, Island Fawr and Crystanog Waters (three quarters of a mile, off the B4300 towards Capel Dewi), All Waters and Gilberts (one and a half miles, from the B4300 and the A40), Weir and Capel Dewi (one mile, from the B4300 and the A40) and the Llanarthne Waters of Barley Mount, Glantowy and Typicca (two and a half miles, from the B4300).
Beat maps can be downloaded once a booking is made. The Passport recommends reading the full club rules before buying a ticket. No dogs are allowed and the wash-off policy applies. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
