R45 - The Dulas Brook
Vouchers - Adults 3 / Under 17s 2.
Wading difficulty: 2
Anyone who enjoys small stream fishing for wild brown trout should give the Dulas a try. The beat is made up of just under a mile of double and single bank fishing of this River Dore tributary. For the first couple of hundred yards there are two or three good pools. Thereafter the beat is a delightful succession of promising lies, some of which are surprisingly deep for such a small stream. With a rod of not over 7½ feet, stealth will be the key to your success.
