Llyn Trawsfynydd is a large reservoir stretching approximately 5 miles in length, set within the stunning landscape of Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. Fed by the Afon Prysor and its surrounding upland catchment, this substantial body of water sits at elevation amid the wild Welsh hills, offering anglers a scenic and productive fishery. With an average depth of around 12 feet, the lake is characterized by a relatively shallow profile punctuated by submerged rocky outcrops throughout — features that both challenge navigation and concentrate fish. The reservoir has earned a strong reputation for top-of-the-water sport and hard-fighting fish, drawing anglers from across the UK for its quality rainbow and brown trout fishing alongside a healthy population of coarse species.

Wales licenses and regulations
Wales Boating Regulations
Canal & River Trust is the navigation authority for inland waterways across England and Wales (boat licensing and navigation rules). For coastal boating the national Maritime & Coastguard Agency guidance applies.
Wales Fishing License
Wales uses the same GOV.UK rod licence system as England - a single Environment Agency licence is valid in both countries, required to fish for salmon, trout, freshwater fish, smelt or eel.
Wales Fishing Regulations
Natural Resources Wales (not the Environment Agency) sets and enforces the angling byelaws in Wales - close seasons, methods, catch limits, and salmon/sea-trout rules. These are distinct from the England byelaws despite the shared licence.
Wales Stream Access Laws
Natural Resources Wales' Angling Code, the closest official guidance on access for anglers in Wales. As in England there is no general right to fish - you need permission from the fishery owner or a permit/club membership.
