Set in 20 acres of the beautiful South West Wales countryside, overlooked by the Cambrian Mountains and 4 miles east of Lampeter, you will find Springwater Lakes. A picturesque angling complex of 4 lakes: 1 specimen, 1 mixed coarse and 2 fly, with a 4 star, 30 pitch touring site for caravans and camping. All lakes have easy access for the disabled angler.
On site the caravan and camping
pitches have electric hook-up, T.V. reception, and there are immaculate
toilets and showers.
It’s a nice level site with well spaced pitches plus hard standings available making it an ideal venue for motorhomes.
We are centrally situated to the rivers Towy, Cothi and Teifi, which are some of the best salmon and sea-trout rivers in Wales, on which day tickets can be arranged. All pitches are within 50 yards of the lakes
The beautiful sandy beaches of the West Coast are just half an hours drive away where boat and beach fishing can also be arranged.
For the non-angler there are many places of interest to visit such as Aberglasney and National Botanical Gardens, the Dolaucoti Gold Mines, Dinefwr Park and Castle.
The interesting city of Cardiff, with its mix of old and modern and wealth of shopping opportunities, makes this another must for a day trip. The seaside town of Swansea also provides a variety of shops, well worth another days excursion.
Springwater Lakes is the ideal base to visit the many attractions South Wales
has to offer. There is something to
interest everyone.
The Coarse Lake is approximately 3 acres with depths of 3-8 feet with a good mix of Carp, large Tench and Bream, Roach, Rudd, Golden Orfe and Perch. All fishing techniques and baits work well and with plentiful stock of Roach and Rudd providing instant sport, make it an ideal place for the experienced and novice angler alike.
The Specimen Lake is approximately
3 acres with depths 3-12 feet, well
stocked with Mirror and Common Carp weighing 10-30 lbs plus.
This mature lake with its irregular shape
and many features including 2 islands, plus stock of large fish, will have great appeal
to the specimen angler.
Mixed Course Lake
For the Fly Fisherman there are 2 lakes totaling 2 ½ acres, both with depths of 3-8 feet.
Fly Lake1 is for fly fishing only, well stocked with quality hard fighting Brown and Rainbow trout up to 8 lbs. It has an abundance of fly life from Buzzer to Damsels with an incredible amount of Alder fly in May resulting in some exciting dry fly sport. Small White Lures representing the Rudd Fry which are in abundance also work well.
Fly Lake 2 is fly fishing for Carp. It is well stocked with Common Carp and Mirror Carp up to 7lb to give the fly angler an interesting alternative,especially in the summer months as the water temperature rises.
29lb Common Carp - Specimen Lake
All anglers on the Specimen Carp Lake
must be equipped with large landing
nets and unhooking mats.
