Abercothi is situated at Nantgaredig near Carmarthen, Wales.The Abercothi Fishery comprises approximately three miles of the River Towy and a further mile of the River Cothi. Almost all the fishing is double bank (with a bank share arrangement currently in place for the remainder). There are in all forty main named pools, including the renowned Junction Pool, on what is widely regarded as the prime stretch of sea-trout fishing in the Country.
The best year in the 1980’s produced a total declared catch of 9,580 sea-trout with an average weight of 2lbs. In 1988, of all the fifty famous sea-trout rivers in Wales officially recorded, almost a quarter of the 30,685 fish caught came from a single river system, the Towy (7,134 fish). The Abercothi Fishery tends to average about 10% of the total catch for the whole River Towy catchment for both sea-trout and salmon.
