Welcome to Ammanford & District Angling Association
Ammanford & District Angling Association
was born back in 1927 when a group of local anglers realised the
need to establish a club that would enable them to hold on to the
water that was available at that time for the local population to
enjoy. Had this not happened we might not be enjoying the wonderful
river we have today.
We have some eight miles of fishing along the rivers Loughor and
Amman stretching down stream from Llandybie to Hendrewen near
Pontardulais. The club holds competitions for seniors and juniors
throughout the year and fly tying lessons throughout the winter.
Although renown as a Sea Trout river the Loughor was once a great
Salmon water with many coracles working the lower reaches at
Pontardulais with their catch to be sold at Swansea fish market. In
recent years we have seen an improvement in water quality which
in turn has given rise to a boom in the otter population on the
Loughor as well as the many other species like the darting
kingfisher and dipper. Hopefully this in turn will follow on to the
fish we strive to catch.
The Loughor, a gem of a river.
