About Ogwen Valley Angling Association, Llyn Bochlwyd
Llyn Bochlwyd lies below Tryfan and Glyder Fach, 555m above sea level. The way to it is to follow the stream that flows from the lake, and the path alongside the stream is very steep: the Passport says you can reach the lake in 40 to 45 minutes at a medium pace, and that it takes an ample level of fitness. Given the altitude, be prepared for sudden changes in the weather.
The fish are natural wild brown trout only, up to ½lb, but strong fighters. Weed grows in some sections, with plenty of clear areas, and fishing the margins of the weed can pay for an accurate cast. Walking round the lake is challenging, with no clear path and thick heather, bilberry and large boulders to the margins. Night fishing is not allowed, but fishing may carry on into the next day, up to 24 hours from the time you started. The same ticket covers all of the Association’s waters, each with its own opening and closing dates: Ffynnon Lloer and Llyn Bochlwyd and Llyn Idwal from 20 March to 30 September, Llyn Ogwen from 20 March to 30 November and the River Ogwen from 3 March to 31 October. The club asks anglers to read its full rules before buying. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
