Visit the wild side of life - visit Wales

Wales is a country of lakes, rivers and coastline. In a country nearly seven times smaller than England there are over 22,000 acres of lake, over 2,400 miles of sea-trout rivers and 2,500 miles of wild brown trout rivers together with 750 miles of coastline. The vast majority of these are available to the travelling angler and from double figure sea-trout, rainbow trout, carp, pike and barbel to fantastic sea fishing, there is something for everyone.

For the family being close to mountains and sea is a huge advantage — from long walks on sandy blue flag beaches to enjoying spectacular walks in the mountains — there is something for all tastes. With a population of only three million you will never feel crowded or get stuck in a queue, the only time you will pause is to admire the breathtaking scenery.

To help inspire the visiting angler the new free Fishing Wales brochure has just been launched. It was written, designed and produced by fishermen for fishermen and their families and shows you what Wales can offer.
