Water managed by Seiont Gwyrfai & Llyfni fishing Society
Type
Lake
Species
Arctic charr and Brown trout
Low alkalinity
High alkalinity indicates water fertility and can signal the presence of larger trout. Fish in alkaline waters have a wider variety of invertebrates to feed on.
Deep
The depth of a lake has significant impacts on its ecology. Reduced heat and light in deep lakes inhibit algal growth.
Low shoreline complexity
A lake with a high shoreline complexity will have numerous bays, points and peninsulas.
Low elevation
Lakes at a higher altitude can take longer to warm up during the season and may not fish well until summer.
Large
Larger lakes with good spawning often contain lots of smaller trout. Smaller lakes with limited spawning can produce larger trout.
Seiont Gwyrfai and Llyfni Fishing Society offers excellent fishing on Llyn Cwellyn, a large natural lake.
The fishing experience here is exceptional, with free-rising wild brown trout comparable to the best you can find in these islands.
The average size of the trout ranges from 8oz to 1lb.
Cwellyn spans approximately 220 acres and is designated as a Special Area of Conservation. Its considerable depth allows it to sustain one of Wales’s few Arctic char populations.
