The Afon Dwyfor is a small Welsh spate river located in Gwynedd that offers excellent opportunities for sea trout and salmon fishing, particularly during autumn and winter runs. The river is characterised by fast-flowing rocky sections interspersed with deeper pools, providing classic Welsh river habitat with good oxygen levels and natural spawning gravels. Access is generally available along much of the river, though fishing permits from local riparian owners or the Welsh part of the Environment Agency are typically required.
