It was bright and clear, salmon and grayling from now on.

I went out Saturday to chirk and newbridge but it was Pretty coloured by the time I got there and didn’t touch anything

went yesterday to Corwen and the river was fine-I saw a couple of salmon when I arrived about 8am but that was it,
I got 2 ST a Grayling and about 10+ brownies on the spinner,everything but a Salmon

Try again tomorrow but I might be being optimistic given the weather!

I went out Tuesday above the bridge at Corwen-didn’t last long the river was almost in the fields (1080 and rising)
So I went over to the Conwy in the end and I got 3 small ST-worryingly I didn’t see a salmon the whole time I was there and the water was perfect!

I went yesterday to Carrog-spinning 🙃
I got 4 ST,best was 5-5.5lb (others were all around 1lb
2 Grayling and countless brownies up to a 1lb but no salmon-I believe there was 5 caught from the town waters though just above where I was,the water was perfect yesterday on the Dee even for the Fly

I can’t go today as I’m working but I’ll try and go tomorrow and Monday

good luck if anyone’s out

That's a lovely sea trout Tim, well done. You've put the effort in and had a decent season.

The Conwy seems to have gone a bit quiet for salmon. Not surprising really, as they had quite a few summer floods to move the salmon in.

well done, I was thinking about spinning Sunday but wasn't sure if water would be too coloured serves me right for not going and seeing it for myself hopefully get out this week

 

[Timxyz49]

Well by sheer fluke/luck I finally got a salmon today(spinning)-I dropped the little one off at school and thought I’d go for a couple of hours to Chirk-

I got 3 ST as well,2 were 3/4lb odd and really silver and one was around 1 1/4lb and starting to colour up and a bit thin looking!

It’s been very kind to me the Dee the last few weeks for a change,I’ll be out the next few days so I’ll let you all know any success or otherwise but the waters perfect now-even lower down

good luck 🎣

 

[Andy62]

Well done Tim, I’ve missed all the water. On holiday last week and working in Antwerp this week 🙄

 

[elwyman]

Well done again, you've had some good catches lately.

 

[elwyman]

Great to meet you at the Dee Junction Beat today Tim. Nice to chat and for both of us to bask in the glory of landing a salmon each today. Thanks very much for netting my fish.
Caught on a flying C, but who cares as it's my first salmon since 2021.😮

 

[Timxyz49]

Was great to meet you too John,I stayed till just after 7,I got a couple of brownies after you left but that was it. Think we got the only 2 Salmon on the beat!

Good luck on the Brenig tomorrow

Hopefully see you on the river again before the end of the season

Well I gave it another go last night up around Carrog area-first cast i got a decent grayling,but that was it,I had a few plucks at my fly and then I tried a surface lure and had something small splash at it but it just didn’t get dark last night at all,it was a full moon and then it started blowing a gale so I gave up around 11ish

Hopefully we get some rain now and we can focus on salmon fishing-has been a couple caught lower down the river

good luck if anyone’s out 🎣

I have a friend from Wrecham who is a PA member and he said the Dee has been very low on fish this year. Quite the opposite of the Mawddach that has been stuffed with fish

Well done guys 👍👍🎣🎣

Rob Redman has caught some beauties from his local rivers this season, around Dolgellau.

Managed to get my first salmon in 8 years today it’s been a long wait but worth it! Saw a few fish move in the AM but then the river went deadly quite after mid day. Nice grilse of 6lb, not to coloured either!

Well done. I didnt see any fish moving on Thursday, but I didn't arrive until midday.

Had my name down for Prince Albert for a few years and when they finally replied offering a membership I was going through a bad health thing and so passed on. Having heard great reports from there I’m regretting I passed up. Whatever reason the Mawddach and Wnion have really bucked the trend this year

 

[Sewinstar]

I think a few fish had pushed through on the slight rise of water Saturday night very much a case of right place right time

 

[Andy62]

Well done to you all, you certainly dropped on 👍

So,I spent Sunday fishing Corwen town waters,chain pool and bonwm farm without even touching a fish
Monday I spent on the town waters,chain,carrog,Berwyn and it wasn’t till I got to Chirk at 17:30 I even got a fish which was a small ST
Tuesday I spent all day on the junction for 1 ST that was black and about 1 1/2lb and a couple of brownies

I went after taking my little girl to school this morning to Chirk and within 45 mins I’d had a tagged ST that was about 1/2lb which came in on 9/7/25
Then I got a cock salmon about 11lb odd (give or take)
And then I got a bright silver ST about 2lb but the bloody thing jumped out my hand before I could take a photo of it-I was shocked how silver it was!

it’s been a very difficult few days,everyone I’ve spoken to is struggling,the only fish I’ve seen is the one I caught.

I know of 2 caught above Corwen since Sunday but that’s it.

Good luck if anyone’s out tomorrow-
