The angler at Bala can fish for brown trout, grayling, salmon, perch. pike, roach and eels and because of this variety he or she can fish all year round as there is always something in season.
Llyn Tegid holds perch, roach, pike, trout, grayling, eels, along with salmon in the season and the legendary GWYNIAD. This is a plankton feeder and seldom caught on rod and line. It is a relic of the ice age and unique to this lake. Also present are minnows loaches and bullheads. Recently ruffe have been caught by some anglers fishing ledger. Any legal method is allowed for any fish.
During summer roach and perch can be caught along the margins on float or ledger using worm or maggot. Fish of 2 to 3 lbs in super condition are not unusual. The perch above left was caught during the club's junior competition and is typical of the size and condition that can be expected. Perch will also take a spinner. Pike can be caught using live or dead bait or by spinning. Wild brown trout can be taken on fly and although not present in the vast numbers of the early 1950’s they are still present and well worth a day’s fishing.
The fish above right is a wild lake brown trout caught by a local junior and weighed over two pounds. Large ferox trout are also present. The lake is a popular venue for coarse fishermen during the winter and impressive bags of roach and perch are consistently taken on ledger and swimfeeder. Deadbaiting for pike is also a popular method during the colder months.
A BDAA season permit allows you to fish the lake. A Bala Angling DAY ticket gives the angler access to all club waters but NOT LLYN TEGID. The angler wishing to fish LLyn Tegid on a day ticket MUST buy a ticket from the warden or ticket machine near the warden’s office as Bala and District Angling Association day ticket holders DO NOT HAVE ACCESS to Llyn Tegid . Only Bala and District Angling Association season ticket holders have access to Llyn Tegid on a club ticket. Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) day tickets cost a very reasonable £2.50. Parking is £3 all day at the nearby site.
