About this water
Llyn y Manod lies roughly 6 kilometres inland from the Welsh coast, set among the mid-altitude moorland of Gwynedd. This very small loch covers about 8 hectares with a simple, rounded outline and reaches moderate depths despite its shallow classification. The water has low alkalinity, reflecting the acidic nature of the surrounding terrain.
The loch holds plenty of small trout and responds well to both fly and spinner. The rocky margins, while awkward for the angler, provide good holding water for the fish.
The approach follows a winding route of just over 2 kilometres from the starting point, tracking northwest across the moor before turning southwest to reach the eastern shore of the loch.
