River Wnion
Brief description of fishery:
The Wnion is the largest tributary of the Mawddach and extends upstream from the lower tidal Junction Pool through the town of Dolgellau to a narrow boulder strewn upland spate fishery. Sea trout are the main quarry although a number of Salmon run the river and there is always the indigenous brown trout on offer if you are careful enough.
Location:
The river Wnion flows through the town of Dolgellau and joins the river Mawddach at the tidal point of the Junction pool
River Mawddach
Brief description of fishery:
The Mawddach is a fantastic river offering upland spate fishing to slow tidal pools. The Mawddach holds a good head of both Salmon & Sea trout throughout its length. Fly fishing, spinning, shrimp and worm are all methods and can prove productive depending on the conditions. Anglers must adhere to the local Salmon & Sea trout bylaws & check the government website for guidance.
