About River Ceirw, Dinmael

The Ceirw is a tributary of the Alwen and, the club says, an excellent brown trout stream. Members come with lighter tackle and Tenkara outfits and catch a good number of fish. It is a spate river that can be very good for salmon late in the season, and it is often fished when conditions on the main river are poor. The beat has several good pools and is a mixture of single and double bank fishing.
