River Thaw cuts through Cymru / Wales, United Kingdom and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades.

Fishing Techniques
- For Starry smooth-hound
Use a running ledger rig with a long trace to allow the smooth-hound to move freely with the bait; heavy sinker helps keep bait on the bottom.
- For Blonde ray
When targeting blonde rays, use a running ledger rig with a long snood to allow the bait to move freely and attract their attention.
- For European conger
Fish baits and lures close to the seabed, especially around wrecks and rocky areas, as conger are often ambush predators.
