Afon Cain – Pont Talwrn

A 0.9 mile stretch of double bank, wadable fishing. TWO VOUCHERS

This is a linked beat with Green Hall. Pont Talwrn beat ends where Green Hall start. Both are accessed from the same car park. The two beats can be put together or fished individually. Each beat is two vouchers.

The attractive river habitat varies greatly with sharp, slow bends, deep pools and riffles. Overhanging and fallen trees provide endless refuge to an alert and timid trout population. A slow, stealthy approach is required to make the most of the angling.
