About the River Afon Eden (Gwynedd)
The Afon Eden is a tributary of the Afon Mawddach in Gwynedd, running mainly south from Trawsfynydd to Y Ganllwyd, where it joins the Mawddach. It is the Eden of Snowdonia and has nothing to do with the River Eden in Cumbria.
It drains the Rhinogydd and is a spate river strewn with boulders. The upper reaches run slowly through a raised peat bog that stains the water tea coloured, with deep pools, before the river speeds up towards the lower stretch, which has riffles and more deep pools. It is one of the few breeding grounds for freshwater pearl mussels, and it is protected because of them. For that reason anglers are asked not to wade.
The Afon Eden holds small brown trout, usually, with the odd fish of half to three quarters of a pound. Sea trout (sewin) and salmon run it towards the end of the season.
