Fly Fishing the Highest Fishable Lake in Wales With My Dog | Llyn Ffynnon Lloer 

Thanks mate! That drone is a bloody godsend hah

Hi David thanks for the info and glad you enjoyed the vid. Interesting you mention those bigger trout, I did try a martins minnow for about 15 mins and saw some pretty big ones coming after it. Was actually only fishing for about an hour or so on this session but could have spent all day up there absolutely loved it. Can't wait to go back, you're lucky to live so close. All the best, Niall.

Thanks mate apreciate it, and yes you're so right the hike alone was well worth it, it's a stunning spot. A fish at the end was the icing on the cake!

What a spot it is mate, can’t wait to go back next summer. All the best, Niall

@@albionangling I'm an angler myself, same kinda desire for real wild brownies or bass off Anglesey. 👍👍

Would love to have a go at fishing Assynt, imagine the midges are pretty bad though? 😬 and yeah you're absolutely right, it's a blessing really that these places are difficult to get to

@@albionangling I've only done Assynt once so far but I'm planning many more trips once life permits😂 We may have been lucky but midges didn't bother us greatly. Although we were caked in repellent and had midge nets just in case!

@@bencrichton2436 ahh that's encouraging thanks, what time of year did you go? As you can probably tell I'm desperate to make the trip hah, will probably be next season now. Hope to tick off a couple more lochs/tarns this year, just finding the time.

@@albionangling we went in August, must have been 2019 before covid! You could spend a whole week there no problem if you wanted. I know what you mean about finding time though. Honestly thought I would have been back there by now😬

Wow thanks for the info William that’s really interesting to hear. Can’t imagine it’s easy to catch on March 1st but fair play for doing so! Might have to check out that fly, might have a go at tying it. All the best, Niall

Hope it does well for you. Try the lake below Y Garn as well!

Thanks mate! And yeah a proper Lord of the Rings vibe, what a place!

@@albionangling from the trout you saw, were there any bigger stamp fish then? Leopard trout style 🤣

@@joeldixon3459 some bigger ones yeah, put a streamer on at one point and 3 trout followed it in, all about a pound. Streamer could be deadly there, was just a bit too windy on this trip

@@albionangling One of many upland waters to explore! Many more to come. Would be nice to see a video montage dedicated to the scenery across all your upland water trips

@@joeldixon3459 yeah that's a great shout mate!

Thanks mate. Here I was using the 5wt snowbeee classic along with a cheap reel I got off ebay. Wouldn't recommend the reel but the rod is great! Usually go a bit heavier when fishing these remote llyns/lochs/tarns, mainly because its usually quite windy up there! Cheers Niall

Hello mate yes believe this is fly only

Thanks David really apreciate the feedback. Just checked out the book you mentioned, looks fantastic got It on order. Whilst we're based in Yorkshire, I hope to do some more Llyn fishing in Wales, was really blown away by some of the spots I visited. Would be great to go out with a tent and try tick off as many Llyns as possible over a couple of days or something. Good luck fishing Creggenan mate 👍

@@albionangling cheers, if you want to take a tent try Llyn Conlog, however make sure you have a map and that you can navigate, being from Yorkshire you'll appreciate that the conditions on the hills can change at the drop of a hat. Never fished Yorkshire, might have to give it a whirl someday 😀

@@davidhumphreys7035 ahh great thanks for the advice there David, I'll give that spot a go! Some cracking fishing here In Yorkshire, much of best the fly fishing is controlled by clubs in the dales and day tickets can be hard to get hold of, still some good spots to go at though!

Dave Humphries. Are you now the Chairmen of Cambrian angling?? Don't think the club wants people to camp by their lakes.

What book is this please ?

Didn't realise these places were getting so popular, but like you say Jonathan it's sometimes best to keep these spots to yourself. In future videos I think I'll probably not name the lake/llyn/tarn I fish. As much as I'd encourage people to fish these beautiful remote places, we don't want them to become overrun with anglers!

@@albionangling It wasn't really targeted at you.......more the so called ' experts ' in the fly-fishing media. You've got Ceri Jones from Fishing in Wales who's made videos and a book recently about Llyns. I just picked up Trout and Salmon magazine, and article from George Barron about a lake in Snowdonia. The article is titled ' Alone ' and he says he wouldn't be happy if another angler was there on the day, so why go and print it in a national magazine with all the details?! These are very special places and would break my heart if they get busy. Wales is not as big and wild as Scotland. It's a true luxury to find a spot to not see anyone. Sorry for the rant.

@@carlhughes9584 No need to apologise Jonathan its a valid point you make! I do hope to make a trip to some of the hill lochs in Assynt and the hebrides, imagine that will be next year now. Thanks for watching anyway mate 👍

@@albionangling I'd love to do that also......Shetland looks amazing too!!
