The River Solva is a small Welsh watercourse flowing through Pembrokeshire with a character typical of upland stream systems, offering pocket water and modest pools that hold brown trout and occasional sea trout during their seasonal runs. This intimate river provides a rewarding experience for those seeking solitude and technical fly-fishing opportunities in a rural setting. Access is generally available along much of the river but anglers should seek permission from riparian owners and check with local angling associations for permit requirements.
Anglers should note the close season on River Solva: 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.
