Welcome to
Dee Anglers

Address:
River Dee around Fardon and Holt

Access to four and a half miles of the stunning River Dee. It offers some great year round fishing.

Winter fishing can be especially good where the fish shoal up in the cold weather. Predator fishing is good here to with pike over 20lb and Perch over 3lb caught.

TIP: The river has fresh cold water running through it on Thursdays and Sundays from Bala Lake where the river starts, when they open the gates to release water from the lake which can make fishing more difficult.

Known Species:
Chub, Barbel, Perch, Roach, Dace,Eel, Brown Trout

This stretch of the Montgomery Canal set in beautiful surroundings, starts from Bridge No 69 at the Junction with the Llangollen Canal at Lower Frankton through Frankton Locks to just beyond Lockgate Bridge No 70 on the Montgomery Canal proper. It also includes the basin and Weston Arm. There is good parking with ample space at both ends of the stretch. The post code for the parking at the Llangollen Canal junction (Bridge No 69) is SY11 4PB.

When visiting this stretch to fish, please respect the areas sign posted No Fishing particularly around the locks and mooring positions.

At the village of Waterloo there is an accommodation bridge and then, near to the road T-junction (sign posted Wem and Whixall) there is a brick canal bridge (No.5). Edstaston is just another mile away but by the time the canal reaches the village it is completely dry. The road bridge is now blocked but, as the line turns north east, there is still a canal warehouse and a wharf. Three quarters of a mile further on the cut reaches the B5476 at Quina Brook (6 miles south of Whitchurch). There used to be lime kilns here to the west of the road, in fact, there still is but they are now a pig sty - literally! Construction ended here at Quina Brook; 2 miles short of Prees which is situated to the east.
