Capel Dewi Stretch, River Tywi

River level

The lowdown

• This is CDAC water at Capel Dewi, on the middle/lower Tywi near White Mill. A handy bit of river to have on the radar if you fancy chasing migratory fish.
• The club specifically highlights salmon and sewin here. The Bwich sits at the tail end of the stretch and is the headline pool, with a cracking reputation for salmon.
• There’s no published mileage or peg count, so don’t expect a neat swim-by-swim breakdown. CDAC members do get access to maps of the club’s waters, which is the sensible starting point.
• The exact bank arrangement isn’t stated either. Same goes for the detailed flow, depths and features, so the published information doesn’t give a full tactical picture of every glide and crease.
• The Capel Dewi season runs from 1 April to 7 October. That gives you the main spring, summer and early-autumn window for the Tywi’s salmon and sewin fishing.
• Methods aren’t set out on the stretch page. So there’s no official steer here on spinning, fly, worm or any other approach — check the current club rules before tackling up.
• This is part of CDAC’s wider Carmarthenshire fishing portfolio, rather than a standalone bit of ticket water. The club describes itself as open, with joining handled through Clubmate.
• There’s a Capel Dewi parking image on the official map page, but no dedicated parking postcode is published. Vehicles using CDAC parking are left at the owner’s risk.
• The basics matter: respect the country code, shut every gate, walk round field edges rather than across the middle, and take all litter home. Bob on river manners, especially around working farmland.
• We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.

Methods: The stretch page doesn’t specify permitted methods, so check CDAC’s current rules before fishing. The water is promoted for salmon and sewin, with the Bwich the key named pool.

Access & tickets

This is club water rather than a publicly advertised day-ticket beat. Club membership provides access to the club’s waters; contact Carmarthen and District Angling Club for membership details.

Fish the club names
