About Vale Of Clwyd Angling Club
The Vale of Clwyd Angling Club offers anglers access to waters extending from above Ruthin, at the top end of the Vale of Clwyd, down to a point just outside of St. Asaph, some 14 miles away by road. Apart from a small number of sections, the club has access to either single or double bank fishing for the whole length of the River Clwyd between the uppermost and lowest beats. We believe we now offer the finest opportunities to anglers, certainly in the Vale of Clwyd, if not the whole of North Wales.
The Club also has beats on the rivers Clywedog, Wheeler and Ystrad, which are feeders into the River Clwyd, a beat on the River Elwy and a two-acre members lake Near Denbigh.
The lower beats of the River Clwyd are kept primarily for Sea Trout, Salmon and wild Brown Trout fishing. The club encourages members to practice voluntary catch and release.
The upper beats from Pont Telpyn, together with the Club Lake and the River Wheeler beat, fly only. On all other beats, spinning and worming are permitted within the relevant byelaws.
In addition to our own waters, the Club takes out a small number of tickets each year on the Bala AC waters, which increases member’s options to include Grayling fishing in the winter months. These tickets are available free to members only. Similar arrangements operate with Llangollen Maelor Angling Association
