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.
Moderate 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.
Small
Larger lakes with good spawning often contain lots of smaller trout. Smaller lakes with limited spawning can produce larger trout.
Surrounded by steep, almost sheer sides in places it has many bays and points. It generally produces the most fish of the Teifi lakes, although usually of a smaller average size than the others and quite dark in colour. Abundant spawning is provided by the many small streams that feed the lake. Half a pound would be a fair average here, although some larger specimens are sometimes caught to over 1lb, with rumours of fish to 4lb.
