About Pontarddulais and District Angling Association, River Loughor

Pontarddulais and District Angling Association has about 5 miles of fishing on the Loughor, from the tidal stretches around Pontarddulais up into a quiet pastoral valley towards Ammanford. The river is known for its large sewin and for late season salmon. The Passport says it is narrow and winding between steep banks, which makes it a more demanding river to fish at night than the Towy, but one that can produce spectacular results.
