About Llyn Manod

Llyn Manod covers about 16 acres at about 1,400 feet, halfway between Manod Mawr and Manod Bach above Blaenau Ffestiniog, 30 minutes’ walk from the town. The association says the fishing is rather rough because of the rocky shoreline, but that the lake holds plenty of fish and fishes well with fly or spinner.
