About the River...
The River Dee rises in the watersheds above Llyn Tegid. (Bala Lake). Two tributaries, the Twrch and Lliw, run into the Little Dee, which flows into Llyn Tegid, the largest natural lake in Wales. From Llyn Tegid, the Dee widens and flows through the spectacular scenery of the Vale of Edyrnion, and the Vale of Llangollen, before making its' way to the estuary, via Chester.
Major Tributaries.
The Trweryn, Alwen, Ceirw, Ceriog and Alyn are major tributaries in our area.
FISHING
SECTION
Salmon.
Although the salmon run in the River Dee has declined from its' heyday as a Spring Fishery, a good head of fish still run the River. Thanks to the trapping facility at Chester weir, the Environment Agency has a good knowledge of the numbers of fish running the River. Dee Anglers catch about 800 fish per year. The Dee is well regulated by controls at the Reservoir in the upper reaches and the result is that Salmon can run the River throughout the Season and beyond. The annual run is estimated to be about 5,000 fish. One sea winter Salmon (Grilse), being the dominant sea age of the group, which is about 65% of the run.
Sea trout - Sewin.
Not usually noted for its' Sea trout, the fish run is upwards of 14,000, the average size being 1 ½ pounds, but good numbers run to 3 lbs. plus and provide plenty of sport for the dedicated Sea trout anglers.
Brown Trout...
The "Brownie" is the indigenous fish on the Dee. The wild stock is supplemented by stocking from various Clubs and provides excellent sport for wet and dry fly anglers, with many fish weighing in at 3 to 4 lbs. plus.
Grayling.
The Dee offers first class grayling fishing. In fact, when the World Championships were held on the Dee, top anglers from all over the world declared that the Dee grayling were unrivalled for quality and abundance. Grayling run to over 4 lbs. in some sections of the River.
