About Llyn Trawsfynydd
Llyn Trawsfynydd is a multi method lake run by Prysor Angling Association, with large areas of bank where anglers can fish bait or fly and several areas of bank that are fly only. The association stocks rainbow trout regularly alongside the natural brown trout, and says its over wintered rainbows survive well. The browns average just on 1lb, with fish over 7lb caught, and spawn in the upper reaches of the Afon Prysor. Rainbows average 1.10 to 1.12lb, fish of 4 to 8lb are caught regularly and the fishery record is 17lb 12oz. There are perch, some rudd and large pike as well.
The association has a fleet of 40 boats with outboard motors, for fly fishing only, and there are no prohibited areas. It warns that rock outcrops just under the surface can catch out the unwary, especially when the lake is not full, and that most of the dangerous ones are marked by metal pins. With an average depth of about 12 feet it says there is little need for fast sinking lines, and most of the sport is on floating or intermediate lines with mini lures, palmered flies, buzzers and dries.
The season runs from 1 February to 20 December. Rainbows are available throughout and browns only from April to the end of September. Permits and boats come from the Prysor Centre, and the association advises booking a boat. The only price list on the site is for the 2025 season, so none is shown. The position shown is approximate and near the Prysor Centre.
