Nant Hir is a small Welsh river offering intimate fishing in a scenic upland setting with clear, fast-flowing water typical of moorland streams. The river holds wild brown trout and occasional grayling in its upper reaches, with the character changing to slower pools downstream where coarse fish become more prevalent. Access is generally good along much of the watercourse, though permits and local water authority consent should be obtained before fishing.
Nant Hir observes the standard close season: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Always check local byelaws before your visit. A rod licence alone does not grant access — most stretches require club membership or a day ticket in addition.
