Trout Fly Fishing

Llyn Brenig

Llyn Brenig Reservoir is recognised as one of the best top-of-the water trout fisheries in the UK.

With 14m / 23km of shoreline, it is one of the best places to go fishing in Conwy (possibly North Wales!) and is chosen for many international matches.

Stocked with rainbow trout and some brown trout, our fish are reared on site in the cold Llyn Brenig waters, enabling them to become fully acclimatised and earn their reputation as fierce fighters.

Llyn Aled Uchaf

Permits may also be bought for fishing in the nearby Llyn Aled Uchaf. It’s a great location for multi-method fishing where you can fish by spinning, natural fly and single natural worm.

Alwen Reservoir

Anglers may also buy permits for fishing in the nearby Alwen Reservoir where you can fish by spinning, natural fly and single natural worm except north of the bridge, where it is fly fishing only.
