There can surely be few places to rival Pembrokeshire for the variety and quality of its all year round angling opportunities, and for the range and beauty of the scenery in which they are to be found. Nowhere in the county is farther than 15 miles from the sea and the land is criss-crossed with rivers and streams dotted with increasing numbers of lakes and ponds. Below is a very small list of what kind of fishing there is available and where you can go to find it. There are many properties to let in West Wales through FBM Holidays. If you are looking to land your biggest catch, or even if you just want to relax, then why not make a week of it and book a property with Pembrokeshire's Premier Self-Catering Holiday Cottage Professionals.

Pembrokeshire Anglers Association has 15 miles of prime salmon, trout and sea trout fishing on the Western Cleddau river in Pembrokeshire, West Wales. Our fishing beats stretch from the fast-flowing upper reaches to the tidal areas just upstream of Haverfordwest.

Beaches of West Wales are famous for the quality of bass fishing they offer, and Pembrokeshire has a wealth of readily accessible beaches, some of which are many miles long, providing great surf fishing while others nestle in sheltered bays that provide a refuge for fish and fishers in stormy weather. Tope, turbot, gurnard, whiting, rays, mackerel, codling, pollack, whiting and (quite literally) a hundred other species can be caught from the beaches of Pembrokeshire.
Here are just a few of the many locations that provide great opportunities for surf fishing and longer range beachcasting:

Dale Beach  Broad Haven  Lydstep Beach  Newgale Sands  Whitesands Bay  Poppit Sands
