This site covers the river dee in
north wales and its tributaries from corwen down
to farndon near Chester.
The river dee
Rises in the mountains of Snowdonia national park to the west of lyn Tegid {Bala Lake}
Into which it discharges after flowing through a broad valley to corwen.
It travels eastwards through the very picturesque vale of Llangollen, through the welsh
Foothills near Bangor-on-dee
And then meanders northwards along the Cheshire plain to its tidal limit at Chester.
Salmon are generally caught throughout its length from its tributaries of Bala Lake Down
To Cheshire plain as low-Down as farndon the catches made in different areas vary considerably
According to the time of the year
The lowest beats in the Overton-on-dee area yield the greatest number
Of spring fish.
But it is the middle and upper river around Llangollen and corwen that produce the
Of summer grilles and autumn fish.
There is a respectable run of small sea trout into the river dee during July and august.
The natural brown trout of the river dee, do not grow to a great size, most rod caught Fish weighing around 1/2-3/4lb but occasional fish are taken up to 4lb.
Below Bangor bridge
The river meanders across the Cheshire plain before progressing through the ancient City of Chester
And into the magnificent dee estuary.
The river moves more sedately through this area and inconsequence, shoals of replace the game fish
Coarse fish much of the water is open to the angler through many clubs,
A large number are based in Chester and southern Lancashire fish species caught in the
Area include salmon And some sea trout, grayling, pike, eels, dace, bream, gugeon, perch, chub.
The stretches from Llangollen to Bangor are predominantly privately owned and contain some of
The best spring Fish salmon pools on the dee.
The public has little opportunity to fish for salmon here and any waters open are solely for
Trout & coarse fish.
