Fishing on the River Teifi

Discover the Angler’s Paradise in Mid Wales

The River Teifi is one of Wales’ most celebrated rivers for fishing, known for its stunning natural surroundings and abundant fish species. Stretching some 75 miles entirely within Wales, the river begins high in the Cambrian Mountains at the Teifi Pools near Pontrhydfendigaid and winds its way through beautiful countryside before reaching the sea at Cardigan Bay.

Here at Cambrian Mountains Glamping & Camping, we’re privileged to have the river flowing through our meadows at Gogoyan, giving guests direct access to some truly special fishing spots.

What You Can Fish For

• Brown Trout: The Teifi offers excellent brown trout fishing all year round. These trout can be found in the shallow pools and deeper riffles, providing a thrilling challenge for anglers of all levels.

• Sea Trout (Sewin): This migratory trout species makes its way upriver, especially after rainfall when the river rises. Sea trout fishing on the Teifi is renowned for its excitement and sporting challenge.

• Salmon: The Teifi is a spate river, and salmon fishing is best after periods of rain, when fish move upriver. Salmon runs typically peak in autumn, offering rewarding experiences for those patient enough to wait for the right moment.

Family-Friendly Fishing

Fishing by the Teifi isn’t just for serious anglers — it’s a great activity for families too. Children often enjoy catching minnows and stone loach in the river’s shallows, offering a fun, safe introduction to fishing and a wonderful way to connect with nature.

Fishing Responsibly

We ask all visitors to fish responsibly, respecting river bylaws, local seasons, and conservation efforts. This helps protect the fish populations and the river’s delicate ecosystem for generations to come.

Please ensure you have the correct permits and follow local guidelines:

• Use barbless hooks where required

• Practice catch and release whenever possible

• Avoid fishing during spawning seasons
