About Dryslwyn Castle, Golden Grove
Dryslwyn Castle is part of the Golden Grove Estate and is the lowest of its beats. At just over two miles, it offers the usual Towy fishing, with Dryslwyn Castle as the backdrop.
Wading is required for night fishing and can be quite deep. Getting down to the riverside is usually very easy and the wading is generally excellent, on wide open water over a shingle base, although there are odd larger stones and rocks and occasional mud banks. At summer levels one can usually wade across the river at selected places.
A day ticket is valid for 24 hours, from 7am to 7am. Anglers must contact the ghillie at least 24 hours before they arrive; the ghillie’s details are issued with the booking confirmation. Dogs are allowed if kept under control, and night fishing is permitted. Up to five tickets are sold a day. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
