Fishing
Venue Guide Wales
Denbighshire
|
By popular demand from visiting
anglers I have
been asked on many occasions
“Where best to go fishing
including best
facilities such as refreshments, toilets, disable access etc”
Therefore I have
introduced for each venue within the guide my personal
1-5 star rating *****.
Including
my
personal views, helping anglers decide where
best to experience
this great sport of ours. I
recommend that you phone first and check details before setting out.
You will need a valid Environment Agency rod
licence to fish at any venue listed
