The Vale of Clwyd Angling Club
Cymdeithas Enweirio Dyffryn Clwyd
Our Waters
As one of the biggest clubs in North Wales we are proud to be able to off our member over 40 miles of fishing in North Wales. Additionally our members have access to fishing in South Wales, England and Scotland.
River Clwyd - Llannerch Beat
This beat, being the club beat nearest to the sea is the one salmon and sea trout reach first once they start entering the river.
River Clwyd - Glan Y Wern
This is an excellent mainly double bank beat of about one mile in length with plenty of good pools and runs over its entire length.
River Clwyd - Pont Perfa / Pont Telpyn
The river is predominantly tree lined with some deep pools but mainly shallow runs and riffles
River Elwy - Kinmel Beat 1
A beat of just over half a mile of right hand bank fishing only. We share this beat with one Wirral Game rod.
River Elwy - Ddol Farm
The beat has a classic spate river topography, fast running water over boulders and large stones.
River Clywedog
This beat is approximately 1.5 miles of double bank fishing except for the upstream limit where the right bank finishes before the left.
Llyn Brenig
Llyn Brenig Lake is now recognised as one of the best top-of-the-water fisheries in the UK. With its 23km of shoreline, it's one of the best places to go fishing in Conwy.
River Clwyd - Greenbank / Perthewig
Although the beat is regarded predominantly as a salmon and sea trout beat, it can also provide some excellent wild brown trout fishing and dry fly fishing can be very productive.
River Clwyd - Llandyrnog
The challenging nature of the beat means that it’s under-fished. So, if you like your fishing to be a solitary experience, this is the beat for you.
River Clwyd - Pont Telpyn / Ruthin Park
Not the most popular stretch to fish due to its close proximity to the sewage works and it is also a popular dog walking area so fishing can be disturbed by the odd diving Labrador!
River Elwy - Gypsy Lane
This beat comprises of 400 yards of left bank only upstream from the access lane. The beat is noted for salmon and sea trout when the conditions are favourable.
River Wheeler
The River Wheeler is a small tributary of the Clwyd that has an established population of brown trout and has runs of sea trout and salmon when the water heights are right.
Ticket Exchanges
In addition to our own waters, the Club takes out a small number of tickets each year on a number of other clubs waters.
River Clwyd - Plasnewydd
Although this beat is regarded as a predominantly a salmon and seat trout beat, it is also home to a good stock of wild brown trout with some sizable fish amongst them.
River Clwyd / River Clywedog - Llanynys
Again a beat that is hardly fished but well worth the effort to get to know.
River Clwyd - Ruthin Park to Pont Eyarth
A lovely stream with runs and pools although quite over grown. Also be aware that sea trout have been caught above this stretch as early as June and July in recent years so you may be lucky.
River Elwy - Kinmel Beat 3
A beat of one and a half miles of mostly double bank fishing on the Kinmel Estate.
River Elwy - Roe Park
Please note that this beat is only for three rods at any one time. The beat is noted for salmon and sea trout when the conditions are favourable.
Llyn Clywedog
The lake has a good head of wild brown trout, stocking of rainbows happens numerous times throughout the year. There are a number of fishing platforms and a raised walkway along the northern shore.
