The Afon Dysynni is a spate river in Gwynedd, Wales, flowing through moorland and valley terrain with a mix of rocky runs and deeper pools that hold sea trout and brown trout throughout the year. The river fishes best after rainfall when water levels rise, offering exciting conditions for those targeting migratory fish and resident populations. Access is generally available along much of the river, though anglers should check local permit requirements with riparian landowners and obtain permission before fishing.
