The River Cammarch Beats 4 and 5
From
its source on the slopes of Drygarn Fawr to entering the River Irfon 18 miles
south at Llangammarch Wells, the Cammarch can be described as a real Welsh
mountain stream with all the desired characteristics.
The Welsh name 'Cammarch' describes the river perfectly: 'cam' meaning crooked, bent, or winding and 'march' meaning stallion, probably referring to the movement of the river. Divided into 2 stretches for 2007, rocky waterfalls and fast runs typify the Beulah Beat, which should fish well early season when there is a little water around.
The Lower Beat runs through farmland and is more meandering and leisurely, containing deep pools that hold some surprisingly large trout. This is a small sized stream that offers some challenging fishing for its wild brown trout.
