About the River Afon Carno

The River Carno, Afon Carno in Welsh, is a tributary of the Severn in Powys. It rises near the watershed with the Dyfi, close to the village of Carno, and runs 9 miles south east, roughly parallel to the A470, to meet the Severn at Caersws, about 2¼ miles north of Llandinam. It passes Clatter and Pontdolgoch, and a Roman fort named Gaer Noddfa stands on its bank next to the churchyard at Carno. It is a small brook, and it is fished with the fly.

FAQ

Afon Carno FAQs

Common questions about fishing the Afon Carno, from day tickets and seasons to what to expect on the bank.

01Can I fish the Afon Carno?

Much of the water is privately managed, but plenty of it is open to visiting anglers through day tickets, syndicate places, and club memberships. FishingBeats lists 1 beat on the Afon Carno, and each beat page shows who runs the water and how to book.

02How much does it cost to fish the Afon Carno?

Prices vary by beat, season, and how many rods share the water. Whatever you book, an Environment Agency rod licence is needed on top of the ticket.

03When is the fishing season on the Afon Carno?

The statutory trout season varies by region: on the Hampshire chalk streams such as the Test and Itchen it runs 3 April to 31 October, while rivers in the Thames catchment, including the Kennet, close on 30 September. Many fisheries set shorter dates of their own within that window, and grayling fishing carries on through the winter on many beats. Check the permit dates on each beat page before you book.

04What fish can I catch in the Afon Carno?

Wild brown trout are the mainstay of most chalk streams, with grayling on many rivers. The mix varies from beat to beat, so check the species on the page for the water you want to fish.

05Do I need a licence to fish the Afon Carno?

Yes. Anyone aged 13 or over fishing for trout, salmon, or coarse fish in England needs a valid Environment Agency rod licence, bought online in daily, weekly, or annual form. It's separate from the beat ticket or syndicate fee, so factor it in before you go.
