Llyn Cwm Bychan is a large 60 acre lake in the Rhinogydd mountains that is the source of the Artro river. It is generally deep and rocky with peaty water, but in some parts extremely weedy, making it hard to fish from the shore. The lake holds wild brown trout, which do not seem to be present in large numbers. Fish range from 4oz to 1lb. It is said salmon and sewin can occasionally run through the Artro river into the lake. Fishing is available by payment to an honesty box at the farm of £5. Season runs 20th March to 17th October. PLEASE NOTE: Access to the lake is via 5 miles of extremely narrow single track road. There are very few passing spots. It is advisable to avoid at peak tourist times.
