  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. On Llyn Aled the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort. Where the bottom hardens, fish tend to hold.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Launching is possible: a slipway lies half a mile off. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. Mapping shows a jetty some half a mile off. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Bala Lake, 15 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on Llyn Aled is worth confirming on the day.
