Fishing Llynnau Cwm Silyn: what the data says
12-acre lake near Gwynedd. The lake tops out around 64 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Llynnau Cwm Silyn draws 12 acres inside 0.5 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 13% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
Brown Trout fishing at Llynnau Cwm Silyn
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 3 to 25 ft. Summer is a 25 to 60 ft game here, winter a 5 to 35 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 29 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (16 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |

European Perch fishing at Llynnau Cwm Silyn
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 28 ft; cold water stacks them in 12 to 33 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 29-ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite.
