Feedback & Reports

First visit to the Dee and very impressed. Lots of fishing available on the ticket. The beat map is detailed and although some of the parking spots are less obvious, once you've found them it's much easier! Many stretches require careful access to get down to the river level, but that's part of the fun when exploring a new stretch of river.

Pretty good conditions, although the wind was fairly gusty, downstream and picked up in the afternoon.

Spent most of the day in the town centre, fishing below the bridge, very easy access and although lots of dog walkers, very little disturbance as the river runs pretty strongly. Careful wading required as river fairly strong and rocky underfoot.

Had a look at the stretch around Horseshoe Falls, decided against fishing as there was lots of boating activity. Upstream from Horseshoe, the river much slower and deeper, so access tricky.

The stretch around the golf course is nice, although a pretty long, but pleasant walk from the car park to the river around the golf course itself. There was a good hatch around 5pm but nothing showing on the surface. Easy wading, once you find a suitable access point.

Caught mainly small browns but fun on a 7ft, 2 wt rod. 2 good grayling.

Our favourite W & U beat and once again did not disappoint. Good to catch up again with Andy albeit from a distance! Feeder tactics in the faster water combined with 8mm pellets or Krill dumbbells did the trick. All fish in great condition and have not forgotten how to scrap. Best of 9lb 15 and probably the same fish caught earlier in the week by our friend Brian. We will be back!!
