About River Conwy, Llanrwst
Llanrwst Anglers Club’s water on the River Conwy is the prime lower section of the river, just above the upstream tidal limit, so sea trout can push into the club’s water on most tides. The town waters are double bank fishing from Gowers bridge, at the bottom of the beat, for about two miles to the upstream limit, with good holding pools for salmon and for sea trout at night. The runs, glides and pool tails suit a double handed fly rod when the river is above 1.0m on the Cwm Llanerch gauge, and the deeper pools suit spinning and bait where they are permitted.
The club also has Glanaber, about 500 yards of double bank near Trefriw, which is tidal and better for spinner and bait because of steep banks, Maenan, about 500 yards of east bank between Dolgarrog station and the Maenan Abbey Hotel, also tidal, and Hendre Wen, about 670 yards of east bank and the club’s uppermost water, which is hard to reach because of steep, tree lined banks.
The best of the sea trout fishing is in July and August and the best salmon fishing from July onwards. A day ticket for 2026 is £30 for adults aged 17 and over and covers the club’s waters apart from the Conwy below the town bridge down to Gowers footbridge. The position shown is approximate.
