An aid to the non-ambulant angler

Nine Oaks Angling Centre is located 1 ½ miles inland from the Aberystwyth to Cardigan coast road (A487) in the village of Oakford (in welsh Derwen Gam). At the village of Llyncelyn, on the coast road 4 miles south of Aberaeron, is a Texaco Petrol station; on the LHS about 50 yards past the Petrol Station turn left for Oakford. Follow the country road for 1 ½ miles until you’re in Oakford.

Straight across the cross road junction and a further 100 yards is Nine Oaks on you RHS.

The grounds are grassed surfaces with embedded gravel along footways. Most grassed areas are kept of manageable length and should not prove difficult for any wheel chair user to negotiate.

However, for reasons of safety our approach is all short grass indicates safe areas and all long grass requires caution. Around the edges of all lakes the grass is deliberately left long as it provides an element of cover for the fish and visually indicates the edge of the lake.

The Fishery has 3 Trout Lakes, 2 Coarse Lakes, and 1 Novices pool for Coarse Fishing. The Trout lakes hold Rainbows, Blues from 2lb and Brown Trout. The Coarse Lakes hold all varieties of Carp (Ghost, Mirror, Common, Koi, Grass), real quality Roach, good Bream, Tench, small Chub, small Barbel and some good Eels.

#1 Trout Lakes and House Coarse pool
This area of the land consists of four lakes (Weir, Pallen, Derwen and House). Access up to these lakes is either via five concrete steps or via a gently sloping, grass covered earth ramp directly off the Car Park.

The land is level but arranged as two terraces with grass covered gently sloping earth ramps from the first to the second level.

The first level consists of House and Derwen lakes and the second of Weir and Pallen. Located at various points around the lakes are concrete casting positions.

#2 Novice Coarse pool:
This pool is held with a netting covered wooden fence and accessed directly off the Car Park over a wooden, flat bridge. The lake surrounds are flat and located at various points around the lake are purpose built wooden fishing pegs.
