Hi all,

I'm planning a Grayling trip on the Welsh Dee. This will be my first time up at that part of Wales as I normally visit the Wye catchment area for my Winter Grayling trips.
I'm after some info on the best area to base ourselves. I would also appreciate any info on the day ticket beats of this river and any other rivers in the area that hold Grayling.
I look forward to your replies,
Cheers,
Mark

Llangollen is probably as good a base as any plently of accomodation, you may have more luck on the River updates section if you post on the River Dee section re day ticket waters.

yep i would go with llangollen myself

Thanks for the info guys.
I'll have a look at that area.
Do you know of any other rivers within an hours drive of Llangollen that hold Grayling ?
Cheers ,
Mark

Hi Mark

I strongly suggest that you try the bala water on the upper dee... i fished it two weeks ago and had 20plus grayliig to about 21/2lb all mainly on bugs. its only 30mins from llangollen . If you send me a pm i can put you in the picture

cheers

Robroy

I'm planning on coming up from London mid-Jan.
In regards to the river levels( thanks for the link allanw) what would be the maximum height you would fish the Dee ?.

Robroy,
I'll send you a pm, thanks.

The llangollen stretch is good for grayling i am a member and day tickets are available, on my last trip i had a 2 1/2 lber and a 2 lber, and there are bigger ones to be had.

John ,
Thanks for that .
I'm planning to visit for four days fishing so weather permitting I should be able to fish a variety of beats.
