About Llyn Bugeilyn

Llyn Bugeilyn is a 45 acre moorland llyn at about 1,700 feet above sea level, and the Passport describes it as truly wild fishing for the unique black finned trout of Bugeilyn, which average around half a pound. The ground around the water is uneven and can be very boggy in places. It is remote and exposed, and the Passport advises taking the precautions that go with that and fishing in pairs if you can.
