River Conwy

River Conwy, in Cymru / Wales, United Kingdom, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at River Conwy is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques

• For European plaice

  When bait fishing, try adding a small, colourful bead just above the hook to attract plaice; they are sight feeders.

• For Landlocked atlantic salmon

  Vary your retrieval speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to on that particular day, as these salmon can be finicky.

• For European flounder

  When using lures, fish slowly along the bottom with occasional twitches to attract attention; flounder are ambush predators.
