The rules and conditions below shall apply to all
at Abercothi.
Please ensure that you have read and abide by these and
if you have organised any party or group or brought any
guests that they do so also. Thank you.
1. Anyone fishing should take care when so doing, especially
at night. You should be aware that wading can be hazardous
and extreme care should be taken at all times when wading,
crossing the river or climbing up or down the banks or
when fishing from the boards. Rocks can be slippery, there
can be deep holes and if in any doubt wading sticks and/or
safety jackets should be worn.
2. Fishing shall be supervised by the Ghillie whose reasonable
directions shall be adhered to. The Estate and/or Ghillie
reserve the right to revoke any permission at any time
should in their opinion any of the rules or conditions
are broken.
3. The fishing at Abercothi is divided into three beats,
Llwch Gwyn, Abercothi and Junction. Rods shall be allocated
a beat and these shall rotate on a daily basis. Rods shall
stick to the boundaries of their beat at all times unless
otherwise advised by the Ghillie. Rods may fish on their
allocated Beat from 0700 hrs until 0700 hrs the following
day.
4. The Upper and Lower Bridge Pools are not part of the
rotating beats and may be fished at the Ghillie’s
discretion.
5. All rods should be in possession of a valid EA Licence.
The fishing shall be by fly or spinner only. Worms are
not permitted except in the Bridge Pools.

look at the plan in the Rod Room) except part of the Junction
Beat, which is single bank. Rods shall make themselves
aware of and abide by the bank sharing arrangements with
the opposite bank on that part of the Junction beat. Please
report any transgressions immediately to the Ghillie.
7. Guests are encouraged to return fish they catch, and
please refrain from lifting them clear of the water. In
any event all salmon caught before June 16th. must be
returned.
8. All fish caught, whether returned or not, shall be
recorded in the catch record book in the Rod Room, without
fail please. Please use a new line for each fish. Please
