About River Dee, Llantysilio, upper section
This is the upper section of Llangollen Maelor Angling’s Dee water, upstream of the Horseshoe Falls at Llantysilio. The club’s page splits it into Duncan’s Pool to Pendre, and Pendre to Top Pool.
From Duncan’s Pool to Pendre the club describes excellent fishing for trout, grayling and salmon from the A5 side, with the Holly Bush pool excellent for salmon on fly or spinner from both banks up to Pendre. It names the Pipe, Sycamore Run and the Pendre channels among the many salmon pools, and says the trout and grayling fishing is good from both banks. From Pendre to Top Pool the A5 side has excellent salmon fishing by fly, spinner or bait, with named pools at the Pot Hole, the Glide, Abersilio, Dee Farm, the Fridge and the Top Pool, and good trout and grayling fishing. Reaching this part means quite a lot of walking from the car park, and the Ruthin road bank is restricted and also needs a lot of walking.
Trout and grayling fishing is fly only. Duncan’s Pool is fly only from the Llantysilio bank, and all methods are allowed for salmon from the A5 bank. The club’s tariff lists a trout and grayling day ticket at £25 and adult membership at £110. The position shown is approximate and taken from the club’s own page, which gives no grid reference.
