About River Dee, Bryn y Pys Estate
Bryn y Pys Estate holds the fishing on the River Dee between Erbistock and Bangor-on-Dee, and manages the salmon fishing on it through the season. Rods are offered as and when they become available. The estate lets the trout, grayling and coarse fishing on this water to local clubs.
The Fishing Passport describes the water as four beats on the middle reaches of the Welsh Dee, some of the most productive salmon water on the river. It says the beats have good fly fishing and relatively easy wading, with a range of high and low water pools, that the vast majority are prime double bank fishing and most have off road fishing. Rods are limited to two a beat, which keeps the water from being over fished, and they rotate between the beats each week.
The Passport lists a full season rod at £375, with no year shown. The estate’s own pages show no price and do not give the limits of the beats, so the position shown is approximate. To ask about a rod, contact the estate office.
