Approximately 1km of double bank wild brown trout & grayling fishing on the medium sized river Irfon, set in remote and beautiful surroundings. The Irfon at Gofynne holds good numbers of grayling, wild brown trout and chub. There is also a chance for a late season salmon too.

The riverbed is a mixture of gravel and bedrock providing difficult wading in places so felt and/or studded soles are a must.

Gofynne is fly fishing only from 3rd March to 31st October. Float fishing (trotting) with bait is permitted for grayling and chub from 1st November to 2nd March.

The river Irfon here is an area where salmon spawn in the autumn and winter. We ask all anglers to ensure they do not disturb any spawning fish and be extremely careful not step in or close to any redds. When fishing from November to March it is advisable not to wade over knee depth. Chub may also be spawning in the gravels in late spring and summer.

There was an outbreak of crayfish plague in the lower Irfon in July 2024. Visiting anglers MUST ensure against cross contamination by approved check/dry/disinfection procedures, and importantly waders, nets and tackle should be sprayed with Virkon Aquatic Broad Spectrum Virucidal Disinfectant before and after fishing.
