The Afon Braint is a small Welsh river on Anglesey with a mixed character of fast-flowing sections over gravel and slower pools, offering good opportunities for trout and occasional sea trout during spring and autumn runs. Access is generally good with several public footpaths along the lower reaches, though you should check with local landowners and the Environment Agency regarding any permit requirements. This is a modest but productive river for dedicated anglers willing to explore its quieter stretches.
