Seven Beats of the River Dee around Fardon and Holt

General description

Through an affiliation with this club, PSAC members have complete access, at no further charge, to four and a half miles of the River Dee. It offers some great year round sport and is a completely different experience from our other still water fishing.

Winter fishing at Holt 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
  • Dace
  • Eel
  • Brown Trout
