The Pembrokeshire Anglers Association is a long established fishing association that owns and leases approximately 15 miles of prime fishing on the Western Cleddau River and its tributaries and also has a beat on the Eastern Cleddau. The Western Cleddau waters stretch from the fast flowing upper reaches to the tidal areas above Haverfordwest.

The river has been very low this month and not many salmon have come in yet, however, there have been a few caught. Andrew Jenkins has had two up to 6lb one on the fly and one on rapala; Adrian Batty has had two up to 9lb and Carl Lowndes and Ernie Jones have had one apiece.

The Really Wild Food & Countryside Festival - Sat 4th & Sun 5th Sept 2010

Once again, we'll be exhibiting jointly with Pembrokeshire Rivers Trust at this year's Really Wild Festival held in St Davids on the weekend of the 4th & 5th of September.

Come along for an excellent Festival of everything that's great about the Pembrokeshire countryside and also find out more about the superb angling we have on our doorstep and the conservation work that PAA and PRT engage in.

You can also get a free master-class in the fly and invertebrate life of our rivers!

Clive Alabaster has written in through the website to tell about a recent catch:

Had to write to tell you of my success on the night of 17/18th June. I caught a 4lb 8oz sewin on fly from the flats below the Gorgan pool. It took a large size 6 teal, blue and silver (with extra herl in the wing) pattern just around mid-night. I reckon I hooked it on the Thursday but it was 10 minutes into Friday before I got it on the bank. It was a hen fish in excellent condition.

I live outside the area although I grew up on the river near Wolfscastle and have fished the Cleddau since I was knee-high. I was back for a few days fishing and was on the river three consecutive nights. Anyway, I got lucky on the second of these nights. I'm still on a high and can't wait for my next visit (mid-July).

All the best,

Clive

Well done, Clive, and many thanks for getting in touch. If anyone else would like to report their catches you can get in touch here...
