About Llyn Craigypistyll

Llyn Craigypistyll is the place to go for natural brown trout. Like Llyn Syfydrin, the fish are generally small but beautifully marked. The lake is around 200m above sea level with around a mile and a half of bank, and it is only lightly fished because it is hard to reach.
