Tried a few different spots on the extensive fishing available on the ticket. Started around Jenny Jones island and whilst it looked really "fishy" barely got a bite.
Stopped at the Sun pub on the road to Trevor - note that the beat map says parking available there for 3 cars......clearly out of date as luckily I stopped in to check, apparently it is only before noon and they are very proud of their new CCTV and £60 parking fine policy. As I parked up at 11.50am, glad I checked!
Headed to Ty Mawr, some interesting stretches, with lots of fun in the last 30 mins with grayling deciding they liked to look of a dry fly - the hi viz pink para Adams, which I now refer to as the "barbie".
All the grayling caught on dries, all the trout on wet. Another fun day on the Dee.

No trout caught but they are in there. Water was low and the heatwave didnt help. Fabulous venue

Lovely beat, easy wading. unfortunately no rise or takes.

Last chance saloon for this angler. River stayed above 1.0m all day but a very fishable colour. The temp of 2 degrees was the lowest of the season. Had a very enjoyable day greatly enhanced by the entertaining company of a kindred spirit in visiting angler Matt from Devon. Had one pull which was probably from a big trout.. Saw a fresh looking fish in the high teens leave the water in the Chine. An enjoyable season in spite of underlying concerns about salmon stocks this season. It’s a long wait till March.
