Beat 2 – Castle Mill Bridge to Chirk Aqueduct – double bank fishing (except for part of north bank at Chirk hatchery and fishery) for both wild and stocked Brown Trout.
Beat 3 – Brynkinalt to Pont-y-Blew (Forge Bridge) – double bank fishing for wild and some stocked Brown Trout.
Please follow the below directions to find the top of this beat:
On entering Chirk on the B5070 from the direction of Oswestry you will come to a staggered cross roads just as you enter the town. Take the first road on the right (Trevor Road) which passes to the right of St Marys Church. Follow that road past the cemetery for 250mtrs. The road then takes a sharp left turn, at that turn go straight ahead through the estate gates. Immediately through the gates take the turn onto a track on your right. Follow this track past some garages and continue to the bottom of the track and park under the A5 bridge.
Ensure your vehicle pass is displayed as the game keeper checks all vehicles parked in that area.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING SPECIFIC RULES FOR BEAT 3, which must be complied with by members and their guests:
A maximum of two cars belonging to members to be parked at the parking spaces accessing the Brynkinalt Estate waters including the parking area below the A5 bridge
IF THERE ARE ALREADY TWO PARKED CARS PLEASE FISH ANOTHER BEAT.
Maximum of 6 rods to fish the Brynkinalt Home Beat waters at any one time
Beat 4 – Pont-y-Blew (Forge Bridge) to river meet with River Dee – double bank fishing for mostly wild Brown Trout and Grayling. This beat joins the lower end of the Coed yr Allt beat and is easily accessible from that beat.
