Welcome

Welcome to the new LLangadog Angling Limited web site. We control some two miles of prime salmon and sea trout fishing on the middle reaches of the famous River Tywi in Carmarthenshire, West Wales. The Tywi is regarded as the finest sea trout river in the UK for both quantity and quality of fish caught with double figure seatrout caught each season.

Season

The season runs from April 1st to October 7th with prime seatrout fishing in May, June, July and August. Salmon fishing is best in April, September and October, however they may be caught anytime during the season given a rise in water levels.

A Short History of the Club

Llangadog Angling Limited was formed in 1963 as the Llangadog Angling Association. LAA's inaugural meeting was held on the 14th October 1963 at the Castle Hotel. Six local parishioners attended the first meeting with the objective of providing recreation in the form of angling to the residents of the Llangadog County Council Ward.

Mr Owen Jenkins was nominated as the first Chairman and Mr W Butler Jenkins as the first secretary. The first president was Mr Leslie Thomas. Also present at the first meeting were Mr Dewi Hall, Mr J Rees and Mr D T Evans.

At the first meeting it was proposed by Mr Leslie Thomas that all present at the inaugural meeting be made founder members of Llangadog Angling Association. The fee for Llangadog parishioners for the coming season was priced at a £1.

During its time Llangadog Angling Limited has mainly relied on leasing its fishing waters from various sources. In the early years the club leased not only fishing rights on the Tywi, but also on the River Bran, Sawdde and Dulais. In more recent years the club strengthened its cause with the purchase of two exclusive fishing rights on the river Tywi.

On the 18th February 1987 the club purchased the fishing rights from the Car Park Pool down to the Cattle Drink Pool below the railway bridge and on the 23rd June 1992 the club purchased the fishing rights at the Road Bridge.

A more recent change was the renaming of the club from "Llangadog Angling Association" to "Llangadog Angling Limited" in 2007.
