Fishing the Ty Mawr Country Park beat of the Welsh Dee

After a very wet February, it was great to get out trout and grayling fishing on the Welsh Dee at the beginning of March. I made a trip to fish the Ty Mawr Country Park beat, which can be fished in places when the river is high. After a slow start and without a fly hatch I spent the day Euro Nymphing which produced some beautiful fish.

It was in the middle dropper because I find it works better there.

Usually, I fish at Llandderfel, near Bals, when the river is running off. Best fished when the Bala gauge is below 0.5m. Also, the Corwen beats above where the Alwen joins should fish OK when the Bala gauge is below 0.5m.

Does nobody keep fish for eating nowadays?

What level was the river at? I am really keen to get out on the Dee again but it seems to be continually flooded. Thanks

[@hawker-overend5404]

Hi Mark, the level was 0.85m on the Manley Hall gauge. Currently, it's 1.1m and dropping slowly at Manley Hall, which is still a little too high. When it gets to

[@hawker-overend5404]

Sorry I should have said from the left bank

[@MarkBarter]

Thanks Andrew, that is very helpful. I always look at the the Corwen gauge. I'll start looking at Manley going forward. I think I'll try and get out on Tuesday. Fisheries are fine but you can't beat a day on the river. I have been considering the tributaries of the Dee that the Corwen club control but I don't know enough about them really. @@hawker-overend5404

Love the video I think it was on that stretch when they held the World Championships in 1990 and everyone was in shock at the Czech nymohing method being used

[@hawker-overend5404]

@@jameswelch100 It is a good beat but in the summer the fishing is spoilt by Country Park visitors swimming in the river.

[@alistairmills7608]

Does it cost you to fish that beat ?

[@hawker-overend5404]

Yes - It’s the lower beat of Llangollen-Maelor angling club and you can get a day ticket
