The River Dwyfor
Sea Trout Fishing on the River Dwyfor
The River Dwyfor (big holy
river in Welsh) in Gwynedd, north-west Wales, rises in Cwm
Dwyfor at the head of Cwm Pennant, gathering numerous
streams which drain the surrounding mountains from Mynydd
Graig Goch in the west to Moel Hebog in the east, before
flowing southwest towards Dolbenmaen and out of the
Snowdonia National Park. After a brief diversion west, it
turns south, then southwest again, heading for the village
of Llanystumdwy, beyond which it heads for the coast and
Tremadog Bay. Its principal tributaries are the Afon Henwy
which enters on its left bank above Dolbenmaen, and the Afon
Dwyfach which joins it as a right-bank tributary to the west
of Llanystumdwy.

Sea Trout Fishing on the River Dwyfor
The River
Dwyfor (or Dwyfawr) is a good sea trout river, recording a ten year average
annual catch (to 2009) of 671 sea trout. Fishing on the River
Dwyfor is largely managed by the Criccieth, Llanystumdwy and
District Angling Association. The Association was formed in 1927 and
owns fishing rights on 8 miles of double and single bank fishing and
also leases about 2-3 miles of water on the Rivers Dwyfor and
Dwyfach. Membership is open to persons residing within 3 miles of
the waters under control of the Association and limited to 160. To
cater for visiting anglers the association issue day, week and
season permits with concessionary permits for senior citizens and
full time students. Junior permits up to the age of 16 years are
also available. For more information, see
