It holds plenty of roach, perch, pike and gudgeon and is a popular training venue of the Welsh national match team. The lower Dee near Chester is a good match-fishing venue, with good stocks of dace, chub and bream. There are pike throughout the river system and barbel around Bangor on Dee. The Gweryd Lakes comprises two lakes: the 12-acre Llyn Gweryd, a spring-fed natural lake stocked with ghost carp, mirror carp, common carp up to 20lb (average around 9lb), tench and bream as well as crucian carp, roach, rudd and perch; and the smaller Llyn Ewan, which is a prolific 'small fish' water with the largest fish approaching 5lb. It is ideal for those new to the sport, as well as for youngsters and competition anglers.
