Welcome to this new game fishing web site which describes our extensive fisheries - 13 miles of prime sea trout and salmon pools on the rivers Mawddach and Wnion are available together with a well stocked brown and rainbow trout lake, Llyn Cynwch.

Night fishing for sea trout compares with the best in the country. Our licence's are very reasonable. Recent seasons have had some of the best fish returns for the whole of Wales and this reflects our intensive, consistent program of stocking both salmon and sea trout in our rivers from the Environment Agency Hatchery. Sea trout of 21 pounds have been caught and double figure fish are not a rarity.

Llyn Cynwch is a joy to fish set in outstanding scenery and regularly stocked with high quality brown and rainbow trout - exhaust yourself - fish our lake during the day and our rivers at night - when will you find time to sleep?!!

Accommodation in the area is of the highest quality ranging from high class hotels through to well run camp sites. There is plenty for families to do from some of Wales best beaches through to fabulous mountainous scenery with Cader Idris, the second highest mountain in Wales, towering above. There are not many places in the United Kingdom where you can get such varied quality game fishing, a range of facilities for the family, be surrounded by scenery second to none, see the Red Kite circle overhead and have the company of otters.

Come and enjoy!! This is God's country - there is nowhere like it.

This superb salmon was caught by local expert Vic Roberts on the Mawddach at Ganllwyd using a prawn - shows the quality fish that can be caught on our waters!

Llyn Cynwch continues to fish spectacularly well both for fly and bait fishermen. The quality of fish and size had never been better. Come and have a go and see for yourself! The lake has been extensively stocked with quality fish and J R Griffith of Manchester on the 22nd April shows what can be caught - a beautiful, well conditioned rainbow over 5lbs in weight.

This 4lbs rainbow is young Cai's best so far. Hooked for life and trying for the even larger ones that exist in our lake.

The prices of our licences have be determined in our Annual General Meeting held in January 2008. This information will be on our Licences page. Remember our season tickets make good Christmas presents for the man who has everything!(contact Marshall Davies for details on 01341 422706).

Important news for people fly fishing our lake (2008) - Llyn Cynwch - see Rules (Rule 10) on our Licences page.

Note the other very important changes to our rules - 2008 - (again on our Licences page) - ignorance is no excuse! These changes are in line with changes to the rules of the Prince Albert Angling Society. The main reason for these important changes is the conservation of our salmonid stocks.
