Stocked with rainbow trout, our fish are reared on site in the cold Llyn Brenig waters, enabling them to become fully acclimatised and earn their reputation as fierce fighters.

Fishing at Llyn Brenig Reservoir is only by fly, which is best done from a boat, however, you can also fly fish from the bank.  It is recommended to book boat hire in advance.

If you are new to fly fishing, you can also book a fly fishing taster session at the Visitor Centre on  01490 389227.  The fly fishing taster sessions make a great gift or fun group activity for those visiting Conwy.

To accompany great fishing, we also have a fantastic visitor centre with activity hub, café, gift shop, osprey exhibition and specialist fishing shop – with everything you need to get out on the water.
