About the River Dwyryd
The River Dwyryd, Afon Dwyryd in Welsh, flows mainly west in Gwynedd and drains into Tremadog Bay south of Porthmadog. It rises in the hills north of Ffestiniog. Water from Moelwyn Mawr feeds Llyn Ystradau, whose outflow is the source of the Afon Goedol, and at Rhyd-y-Sarn the Goedol meets the Afon Teigl. From there the river is the Dwyryd. The Afon Cynfal joins below Pont Dolymoch, after which the river crosses the Vale of Ffestiniog.
At Maentwrog the Dwyryd becomes a long sandy tidal estuary, passing under Pont Briwet before meeting the Glaslyn estuary. The Afon Prysor is its largest tributary. The whole catchment sits on base-poor rock, and many tributaries are acidic, which limits the fishery. Some old quays west of Maentwrog are still used by anglers.
The River Dwyryd has an early run of small sea trout (sewin), and salmon fishing has declined.
