About Llyn Cwmorthin
Llyn Cwmorthin covers 22 acres at about 1,330 feet, between the Moelwyn and Nyth y Gigfran mountains above Tan y Grisiau, and is half an hour’s walk from the village. The association says it holds an abundant head of brown trout and is a popular lake for a couple of hours’ fishing. It fishes well with fly: Zulu or Bibio early in the season, then Hare’s Ear Nymph, Alder and Greenwell’s Glory. In late May and early June there is a very good hatch of the sepia dun, known locally as cogyn, and early morning, dusk and night fishing give the best sport.
The association’s permit is needed and its prices are on its permits page. The lake season runs from 3 March to 30 September. The position shown is approximate.
