River fishing - West Wales ??

**glandyman** · 12-01-2008, 22:17

I do enjoy fishing the various ponds in Pembs but miss the river usk, Taff for winter river sport.
Where is the nearest river coarse fishing to Pembrokeshire ?

Help

Do you think anyone would mind if I introduced a few grayling to the Towy ? I bet they would thrive in that clean water.

Cheers

too much competition for it, loads of small fish eating it all means theres no times for others to get huge. thats my theory neway.

or the pikeys ave all the good trout b4 we see em lol

Even the water you transport them in can carry viruses / diseases or other species - just imagine if there were a few signal crayfish eggs in the water!!

Atb g.

signal crayfish carry their eggs (known as berries) under their tails until they hatch.does'nt mean you could'nt accidently carry some small young this wat though...regards...allan
