I just use euro nymphing leader set-up (5m) which is attached to a standard airflow 3# floating line.

It still holds some nice brown trout which are great to catch on small dry flies.

It's a good spot for nymphing, so you should catch a few grayling there. Tight lines

Hopefully, my mate will invite me to fish there again during this years Mayfly season.

There are some good salmon lies there and should ok for sea trout

It was before Christmas 🎣

@@hawker-overend5404 thanks... i fished the paas water, its a bit upstream from there. also fish the dee from time to time... great video!

@ thanks

That would be good fun🎣

Wow! I actually didn't know there was barbel on the Mitton beat? I hooked into something big on a pellet once that I thought could have been a barbel but I never saw it.

@@johnmaskell5124 It's a good barbel river. A friend normally gets a few good ones each year.

Yes - it’s a lovely place to fish🎣

@@hawker-overend5404 I have already been looking at the map 😅 I was going to fish today but my chosen river has risen a metre with snowmelt - so no 🎣

@ snow melt has also cancelled my trip until Fri

Not sure, I haven’t fished the Ribble much over the last few years. I think there are probably a few to 3lbs on the Hodder

They do help by keeping your hands dry.

Great to hear you are enjoying it🍻 Tight lines, Andrew

Please share. Tight lines for the New Year, Andrew

@@hawker-overend5404 - Many thanks - much appreciated - I am pleased you had a good day on our waters and the video is excellent - great footage for our new members in February and to whet the appetite for next season for everyone - that is a great stretch you filmed on but the wading can only be described as "challenging" - for us old codgers anyway !!!! - we met once when you were with one of our members - hope to see you during next season - Merry Christmas - Steve.

Yes you can get a day ticket link - www.llangollen-maelor-angling.com/buy-a-ticket.html

Thanks

@@AlexAlex-y8c8c 👍

There have been a few come out of the lower BoD beats - above Lower Hall

I find they are OK but you have to compensate for the extra softness in the rod. I've not fished those rivers yet but hope to have a trip there soon.

They are great sport.

@LetsGoFishin60 very good fun on light tackle, i use a #5 9ft rod for dries and wets and a 11ft #3 for nymphing.

Well done mate. I love this spot belong to BODSAA certainely my favorite. See you on the bank a day! Thigh lines Erwan

@@erwantrochu6121 It’s one on my favourites too. Tight lines🎣👍

@@davidhumphreys7035 I use very similar tackle🎣

Classed as a coarse fish as it's breeding season coincides with the coarse fish closed season, mid March to Mid June. They are increasingly fished for by fly fishermen during the autumn and winter. Not sure about eating them.

Although they are often caught during the trout season, they are the mainstay for fly fisherman during the closed trout season, (unless you are fishing for migratory game fish). I have never seen a rule on the many beats that I have fished, that suggests that you can kill and take them. Some fly only trout waters allow Grayling fishing using coarse fishing methods, outside of the trout season (now also available on some river Test beats) but again, no fish are to be killed and taken. So I would suggest that they are viewed and treated as a course species.

Classed as a corse fish wrt to fishing season. Some clubs allow grayling to be taken but most anglers return their catch.

Have you heard of any barbel being caught in that part of dee....

@@gazzwells986 I know a few anglers who have caught them from BoD down river. But now the weir has been removed at Overton this summer they will probable move further upriver now.

Great to hear you enjoyed it. I find It's usually hard work when the weather comes from the east or there has been a sudden drop in temperature.

Attached is a link to the club beat map. www.llangollen-maelor-angling.com/pdf/Maelor%20Angling%20WHOLE%20STRETCH.pdf

One of the slippiest runs I’ve fished in on the river and yes I did go in for a dip. Great video once again

@@paulrowlands8666 Agree it's probably one of the hardest places to wade.

Correct

There were quite a few fish there. I Did move upriver and caught another 10 rainbow but ran out of battery power to film them.

Great to hear you enjoyed it🍻🍻

It certainly is and I’m lucky to have a friend who has a guest ticket 🎣

Thanks

Great to hear you enjoyed the video and have been having some good dry fly fishing on the Dee. I hope your operation goes well and it doesn't keep you away from the river too long. Tight lines, Andrew

Definitely worth a go especially to cover areas that you can’t get to when nymphing🎣

Thanks 🍻

I'd caught a sea trout there while fishing for salmon earlier.

Messenger, just sent you a reply to you message

The upper beat has a few pools that can be fished from the bank, Dee Farm, The run above the glide pool, Pipe pool, Horseshoe Falls pool. hop this helps, Andrew

It really is but I’m trying to keep it alive🎣

Will do - Thanks

Whats a SEO score ?

I normally cover the water in front of me with 3 or 4 cast then take a couple of steps upriver and repeat, until I’ve fished the whole pool. Hope this helps, Andrew

I was fishing about 3ft from the bank on the rock ledge. You normally need a point fly with a 4mm tungsten bead to get down in the fast water there. Then you can fish small size 16 flies on the droppers with 1,5 or 2mm beads. I hope this helps, Andrew

Hi Kerry, It is hard to see on the video but the tip of the fly line moves during the take but you also feel it. I hope this helps, Andrew

Derbyshire Derwent

Yes - It’s the lower beat of Llangollen-Maelor angling club and you can get a day ticket

www.llangollen-maelor-angling.com/tariff-booking.html

Great to hear you enjoyed it, Tight lines

It did look like a native rainbow. Great to hear you enjoyed the video

Thanks

Cheers

It’s the lower beat of Llangollen-Maelor angling club

It was in the middle dropper because I find it works better there.

Usually, I fish at Llandderfel, near Bals, when the river is running off. Best fished when the Bala gauge is below 0.5m. Also, the Corwen beats above where the Alwen joins should fish OK when the Bala gauge is below 0.5m.

Beat Map link which has the country park pools on it I fished in the video www.llangollen-maelor-angling.com/pdf/Maelor%20Angling%20Trevor%20section.pdf

Hi Mark, the level was 0.85m on the Manley Hall gauge. Currently, it's 1.1m and dropping slowly at Manley Hall, which is still a little too high. When it gets to <0.9m you can fish a few spots on the Country park and also Duncan's Pool from the right bank. If we don't get much rain it should be fishable in those places by Tue. More rain is forecast for Wednesday, so likely to rise again. I hope this helps, Andrew

Sorry I should have said from the left bank

Thanks Andrew, that is very helpful. I always look at the the Corwen gauge. I'll start looking at Manley going forward. I think I'll try and get out on Tuesday. Fisheries are fine but you can't beat a day on the river. I have been considering the tributaries of the Dee that the Corwen club control but I don't know enough about them really. @@hawker-overend5404

Love the video I think it was on that stretch when they held the World Championships in 1990 and everyone was in shock at the Czech nymohing method being used

@@JWFitnessHealth It is a good beat but in the summer the fishing is spoilt by Country Park visitors swimming in the river.
