3-acre lake near Isle of Anglesey. The lake tops out around 30 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Llyn yr Wyth-Eidion maps at 3 acres behind 0.3 miles of shoreline. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 38% of this chart, as modeled. Isle of Anglesey claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Llyn Cadarn, is 1 mi to the east.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown trout in 3 to 25 ft. As the season builds they drop to 9 to 30 ft, wintering in 4 to 30 ft. Top water on the chart: Shoreline break, a drop-off in the 14 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for after dark and early morning. Summer baits: a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) gets it done.
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 | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (14 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 9 to 30 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 60 ft | night & dawn | Shoreline break (14 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Shoreline break (14 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 4 to 30 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 35 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (14 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 28 ft, then a winter hold in 9 to 30 ft. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 4 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Deep basin (26 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 9 to 30 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 33 ft | midday | Deep basin (26 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 9 to 30 ft chart-limited; documented 12 to 33 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (26 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 15 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 4 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (14 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (14 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, arctic char run shallow here, mostly 4 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 9 to 30 ft before dropping to 8 to 30 ft for winter. Summer arctic char concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 26 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) most summer days.

Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 26 ft.
Llyn yr Wyth-Eidion is about 30 ft (9 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, arctic char on Llyn yr Wyth-Eidion. 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.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. 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.
