About Llangollen Maelor Angling

Llangollen Maelor Angling was founded in 2011 and controls fishing on approximately 10½ miles of the Welsh Dee, in an area of outstanding beauty and world heritage. The river is fed by the headland lakes of Alwen, Brenig, Celyn and Bala, and the Passport calls it one of the purest rivers in Europe. It is renowned for brown trout and grayling and has good runs of salmon and sea trout through the season.
