Llyn Cwm Dwythwch

Water managed by Seiont Gwyrfai & Llyfni fishing Society

Type
Lake
Species
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.
Shallow
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.
Mid elevation
Lakes at a higher altitude can take longer to warm up during the season and may not fish well until summer.
Very small
Larger lakes with good spawning often contain lots of smaller trout. Smaller lakes with limited spawning can produce larger trout.

This lake is fairly sizable, covering approximately 12 acres. It is home to various wild brown trout measuring between 6 and 12 inches, along with a few larger specimens. The trout are actively rising, and the lake tends to fish well even on inclement weather days. The edges are relatively shallow, making waders a useful accessory.
Access to the lake is via a track located at the rear of Llanberis, which is generally suitable for most regular vehicles, though a 4×4 may be recommended during poor weather conditions. Parking is available just below the lake, adjacent to a ruined building along the track. The walk to the lake takes about 10 minutes, ascending a gentle slope.
