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.

Famous for its bass fishing, the coastal and inshore waters of Pembrokeshire also offer outstanding opportunities for sea anglers interested in a wide range of other species. Bream, mullet, wrasse, conger, rockling, mullet, pollack, mackerel, sharks and rays are some of the more popular target species.
