Default River Dovey, Dinas Mawddwy, N Wales

Hi all,

I have got a cottage booked for a week in December near to Dinas Mawddwy and have noticed it has a River Close by. I already have access to a lake for the week but would like to know if the River Dovey has Grayling fishing on it.

Thanks for any help.

Mick

No, the Dyfi hasn't and will be closed. However not too far to the south east you have the upper Severn at Caersws, and to the north east the Dee at Bala. Both have excellent grayling and inexpensive association fishing.

If you do fancy caersws give me a shout its local to me... granted the likely hood of it being in flood is quite high

Seriously, take a turn off the A470 in Dinas Mawddwy go over the mountain road (snow permitting - should be OK in December) and enjoy some of the finest views in North Wales and after about 20 minutes you will drop into the village of Llanuwchllyn which sits at the top of Bala lake. drive down the lake to Bala and you can buy a day ticket for the Bala AC water on the Dee for about a tenner in the sports/cycle shop in the High Street and that gives you access to several miles of good grayling fishing. The Dee is less affected by winter flooding than the Severn and a check of the gauges on the EA site will save a wasted journey.
