Brown Trout fishing at Llyn Bochlwyd
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 2 to 19 ft. Summer keeps them at 6 to 19 ft, and they winter in 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.
