The centre of Edwinsford has always been the River Cothi, a small but powerful spate river that is argued to be the fastest rising and falling river in Wales.
Edwinsford comprises the largest and most varied single stretch of fishing on the Cothi, with over 5 miles of mostly double bank fishing. The water is divided into 6 beats each with their own unique atmosphere.
We sit at a site of geological change where the river changes from meandering through farmland to thundering through a bedrock gorge.
This huge variety of pools provides us with good fishing opportunities in all water and weather conditions; the higher beats providing great fly water and easy wading in spate conditions while the high timbered banks in the beats below provide ample shade over deep holding pools.
