Fishing along the River Teifi

The 'Queen' of game fishing rivers well deserves its title. Trout, sea trout (sewin) and salmon are in plentiful supply along the Teifi, and lucky anglers may even catch grayling in the river's upper reaches.

Salmon
Although salmon populations have suffered in many rivers, the Teifi still has a reasonable spring run most years. Salmon weighing up to 30 pounds can still be caught, although these contemporary heavy-weights cannot compete with the 40 pound giants of years past. Anglers seeking a silver springer should head for the Teifi between late March and the end of May.

Trout
Stealth is called for when dealing with these shy sea trout. The best time to try your luck is between mid March and late June, and then again between mid August until the end of September.

Sea Trout
A few lucky anglers may catch a leviathon sewin weighing between 12 and 15 pounds. However, the biggest run of sea trout takes place from June to August, with most fish weighing anything up to 5 pounds. Flyfishers have the best chance of success between dusk and midnight.

Pysgota ar hyd yr Afon Teifi

Mae ‘Brenhines’ yr afonydd pysgota yn llawn haeddu ei theitl. Mae llawer iawn o frithyllod, siwin ac eogiaid yn byw yn yr Afon Teifi, a gall pysgotwyr lwcus hyd yn oed dal canghennau gleision ym mlaenau’r afon.

Eog
Er bod poblogaethau eogiaid wedi disgyn mewn llawer o afonydd, mae nifer sylweddol ohonynt i’w gweld yn y Teifi bron pob gwanwyn. Mae’n bosibl dal eogiaid sy’n pwyso hyd at 30 pwys o hyd, er na all y pysgod trwm hyn gymharu â chewri 40 pwys y blynyddoedd a fu. Dylai pysgotwyr sydd am ddal eogiaid fynd i’r Afon Teifi rhwng diwedd mis Mawrth a diwedd mis Mai.

Brithyll
Mae angen bod yn gyfrwys wrth bysgota am y brithyll môr swil hwn. Yr adeg gorau i fentro yw’r cyfnod rhwng canol mis Mawrth a diwedd mis Mehefin, ac eto rhwng canol mis Awst a diwedd mis Medi.

Brithyll Môr
Hwyrach y bydd ambell i bysgotwr lwcus yn dal siwin sy’n pwyso rhwng 12 a 15 pwys. Fodd bynnag, mae’r cyfle gorau i ddal brithyll môr yn dod rhwng mis Mehefin a mis Awst, gyda’r rhan fwyaf o bysgod yn pwyso unrhyw beth hyd at 5 pwys. Pysgotwyr â phlu sydd â’r cyfle gorau o fod yn llwyddiannus, a hynny rhwng y cyfnos a hanner nos.
