Well worth the drive and walk in. Something completely different.

Took exactly an hour to walk in from the car park and just over a hour to walk back. Good Land Rover track until you are at Llyn Melynllyn then you are on a sheep track down hill for the final section. No danger of getting a dog in the river during your session here! Very isolated location.

10.00-14.30 session so I would say I did not see the best parts of the day. Bright sunny day. Wind picked up a few times but always died off and the surface soon settled again. Saw 6 rises while setting up then only about another 6 before I finished within casting distance. However there was more activity way out towards the middle.

Walked round to the waterfall and fished back to the corner by the hut. 1 rod kitted out for dry flys and wet flies (no joy on this rod today) the other with intermediate line for getting right down. Lost a fish on an Alexandra then caught a brown trout and a char on a Red Tag nymph retrieved very slowly at depth.

Saw a peregrine falcon.

No need for waders as you do not need to enter the water and there is a very sudden drop off. You will need the backpack space for fishing kit!

Will definitely be going back for another session.

Clear bright day so tried fishing deeper (the lake is exceptionally deep) Caught a superb trout approx 14” . Very grateful to Fishing Passport for making these amazing waters so accessible.

Great day in the mountains, hike in worthwhile. The rain cleared and had some blue in the sky. Fished for about 6hrs, finally rewarded with a trout, caught on a wet diawl bach after trying numerous other patterns through the day.

Great wild spot to fish, sadly never had a bite on fly or spinner

Poor conditions, enjoyable trek in to the llyn.

1 Trout

Two trout in the 10-11" range right after I arrived the lake, both on small dark wets. The clouds moved out and the fish shut down. Only fished about 3hr.

2 Trout

Most fish caught were char with the odd brown trout. All caught with either dry fly or worm

Very nice walk to the lake and I saw three wild Carneddau Ponies on the way. No luck with the fishing though, saw a couple of fish rising near the dam area and that was it. I tried flies on the surface and also tried a sinking line, no takers this time. Its an awesome location though and worth the trip even if I wasnt lucky this time. I will go again next year

A beautiful and spectacular place to fish, but no fish caught. Lost a small trout / char(?) on almost my last cast of a 5 hour stint. The walk to and from the lake is a bit of a trek, but not too grueling, even with some kit. Will try and return in the future.
