11-acre lake near Conwy. The lake tops out around 19 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Llyn Bochlwyd draws 11 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 87% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The water lies in Conwy. For a second option, Llyn Idwal lies 1 mi west.
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 2 to 19 ft. Through summer count on 6 to 19 ft; the winter hold is 3 to 19 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 9 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 6 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 60 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 3 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 35 ft | dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 3 to 12 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 5 to 19 ft before dropping to 6 to 19 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 16 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 5 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Deep basin (16 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 6 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 33 ft | midday | Deep basin (16 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 6 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 12 to 33 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (16 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 19 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 15 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 9 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.

Llyn Bochlwyd carries 3 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 16 ft down.
Llyn Bochlwyd is about 19 ft (6 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike on Llyn Bochlwyd. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 16 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For brown trout, the summer bite is best in after dark and early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
