The Afon Cennen is a scenic spate river in Carmarthenshire, Wales, flowing through limestone countryside with a mix of fast rocky sections and slower pools that hold fish well after rainfall. The river is known for brown trout and sea trout runs, offering both fly fishing and spinning opportunities in a relatively unspoilt setting. Access is generally good along much of the river, though anglers should check local permissions and Environment Agency regulations, as parts flow through private land.
Anglers should note the close season on Afon Cennen: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Club membership or day ticket access is required in addition to your EA rod licence on most stretches.
