BEAT 1: Haverfordwest to St.Catherines Bridge.

There is a mixture of single-bank and double bank fishing along this beat, with some long runs and glides but also seqences of meanders with deep pools and shallow riffles.

Access and Parking

Vehicular access can be gained to the left bank of this beat via Mill Lane , some 200m north of the Withybush Roundabout ( where the B4329 Fishguard Road crosses theA40). right bank accessed from the B4330.

More detailed maps available to purchase from County Sports or Nant y Coy Arts.

Beat 2: St Catherines Bridge to Treffgarne Bridge

This middle Beat contains some long runs and glides,but there are also several noted pools and a sequenceof quite sharp meanders near the Treffgarne end of the beat.

The fishing is all on the right-hand bank, and the first field above St Catherines Bridge is for access only; the fishing begins from the second field upstream through five meadows of varying sizes .There is then a private stretch where PAA. has neither access nor the right of way or fishing rights, and so the final three meadows must be accessed from the top of the beat.

There is parking at Treffgarne Bridge. Access is down the lane to a style, or continue on till the lane turns right and access is throught the gate on left down the left hand side of the field.

In recent years Pembrokeshire Anglers Association has been actively involved with The Pembrokeshire Rivers Trust and other partners restoring and protecting the Western Cleddau. The work has entailed some in-river improvements and a great deal more in the way of riverbank restoration, fencing to prevent farm stock from damaging the banks and the creation of drinking bays. The benefits of this work can clearly be seen in terms of improved habitats and the survival of juvenile fish.

Beat 3: Treffgarne Bridge to Wolfscastle

The upper beat provides very varied fishing. For much of its length the river flows through a wooded gorge -Treffgarne Gorge - but above and below that stretch there are some sharp bends in the river, some of which have formed small islands.

Over most of the fishing there is double bank fishing, but there is a stretch of single bank fishing just before the upper beat limit.
