About the River Ystrad

The River Ystrad, Afon Ystrad in Welsh, is a small river of about five and a half miles in Denbighshire and a tributary of the River Clwyd. It rises on the upland south of the village of Nantglyn, where the Afon Lliwen joins it, and flows north east past Maesefin and Y Lawnt.

FAQ

River Ystrad FAQs

Common questions about fishing the River Ystrad, from day tickets and seasons to what to expect on the bank.

01Can I fish the River Ystrad?
Much of the water is privately managed, but plenty of it is open to visiting anglers through day tickets, syndicate places, and club memberships.
02How much does it cost to fish the River Ystrad?
Prices vary by beat, season, and how many rods share the water. Whatever you book, an Environment Agency rod licence is needed on top of the ticket.
03When is the fishing season on the River Ystrad?
The statutory trout season varies by region: on the Hampshire chalk streams such as the Test and Itchen it runs 3 April to 31 October, while rivers in the Thames catchment, including the Kennet, close on 30 September. Many fisheries set shorter dates of their own within that window, and grayling fishing carries on through the winter on many beats. Check the permit dates on each beat page before you book.
04What fish can I catch in the River Ystrad?
Wild brown trout are the mainstay of most chalk streams, with grayling on many rivers. The mix varies from beat to beat, so check the species on the page for the water you want to fish.
05Do I need a licence to fish the River Ystrad?
Yes. Anyone aged 13 or over fishing for trout, salmon, or coarse fish in England needs a valid Environment Agency rod licence, bought online in daily, weekly, or annual form. It's separate from the beat ticket or syndicate fee, so factor it in before you go.
