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.
