About Upper Clochfaen
Upper Clochfaen extends upstream from Llangurig Bridge for over two miles, with a mixture of double and single bank. Wild brown trout are the main species, and increasing numbers of grayling have been appearing in catch returns in recent years. The Passport says this part of the river is noted more for the high average size of its fish than for the numbers.
It is a short 120 metre walk from the parking spot to the river. Much of the stretch is easy wading and very open, with little to snag a back cast. Half price evening tickets can be bought from 1 May, after 1pm on the day, with fishing from 4pm.
It is fly fishing only with barbless hooks, all species are catch and release, and dogs are not allowed. Up to two tickets are sold a day, and a trout day ticket costs £26. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
