About Pontardawe and Swansea Angling Society
Pontardawe and Swansea Angling Society has 2.5 km of fishing on the Tawe, mostly single bank, with seven named salmon pools. The Passport describes it as a good opportunity for salmon, sea trout and brown trout.
The Passport says the river follows the pattern of most good trout rivers, with the best of the fishing in the afternoon in March, April and May. It names exceptional fly hatches, including March Browns, Dark Olives, Iron Blues, Medium Olives, Pale Wateries, Blue Winged Olives and various sedges, giving high quality dry fly sport as well as modern nymph fishing.
No dogs are allowed and the beat is not covered by the wash-off policy. Additional club rules apply and the Passport recommends reading them before booking. On booking an email confirmation is sent, which is the ticket and must be taken on the day. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.

Typical months from the river’s hatch calendar, which applies along its whole length rather than to this beat. Not a live report.
Nothing recorded for November. The trout season is closed over the winter on most rivers.
