THE DEE AT BALA... this stretch can be
fished fly only for trout and grayling during the salmon season, mid march to
mid October. Between mid October and mid March
worm fishing is allowed. No maggots are allowed on any club river (except the outflow), E. A.
byelaw. During the summer the grayling
offer superb sport on dry fly and during certain hatches the river seems to be
boiling with fish. A wonderful sight for any angler. Brown trout are also
present in lesser numbers. Salmon fishing is not allowed by request of the
landowner.
Flies
that can do well are red tag, red spinner, ginger quill, gold ribbed
hare's ear fished dry and a small Adams whilst heavy nymphs in various colours take good
fish when nothing seems to be rising to a fly.
Extreme conditions on
the Dee at Bala.
The
Dee at Llandderfel.... is owned by the club and fishing is by any
method but no maggots. Useful flies are as those used at the Bala end.
This is a superb beat with lovely pools. Salmon anglers do well here at
the back end of the season.
