  Fishing in Kite Country - Fishing - River Towy
The Towy is one of Europe's finest sea trout fisheries and very large fish are regularly caught in the early part of the season, although these might not reach the upper stretches in Kite Country until June or July.
The upper reaches of the river are the most beautiful, although the fishing requires considerable skill and it can be dangerous to wade in some of the deep, rocky pools or to fish alone without adequate protection.
This is a very beautiful area beside the Towy and was historically most significant as being the location, at the turn of the century, of the last breeding pair of Red Kites left in the country.
