The Afon Ceiriog is a clear, fast-flowing river in the Vale of Ceiriog, North Wales, offering excellent sport for trout and grayling anglers, particularly in its middle and upper reaches where the water runs cold and well-oxygenated. The river features a mix of rocky runs, pools, and gravelly shallows that hold good populations of wild brown trout and occasional sea trout during the season. Access is generally available through local fishing permits from riparian owners and the Welsh Dee and Clwyd Fisheries Association, with several stretches providing productive fly-fishing opportunities.

Beyond the rod licence, fishing rights on Afon Ceiriog are typically held by local angling clubs — check with the relevant club or day ticket provider before visiting.
