• Where to Fish on Llyn Bochlwyd

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Public occurrence data for Gwynedd names brown trout, Atlantic salmon and European eel. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Fish Llyn Bochlwyd where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.
