Trout Fishing
Llyn Brenig
Llyn Brenig Reservoir is recognised as one of the best top-of-the water trout fisheries in the UK.
With 14m / 23km of shoreline, it is one of the best places to go fishing in Conwy (possibly North Wales!)
and is chosen for many international matches.
Stocked weekly with rainbow trout and some brown trout March to September.
Our fish are reared on site in the cold Llyn Brenig waters,
enabling them to become fully acclimatised and earn their reputation as fierce fighters.
FLY ONLY FROM SHORE OR BOAT

TO PIKE FISH USING OUR ASSOCIATION RODS:-
1. Book your date on our online booking system
2. Register in the Visitor Centre and explain you are pike fishing - you will be given the option of available pegs.
OR: Book a pike peg through Brenig's booking system but don't pay online,
just produce your membership card on arrival.
FLY-FISHING FOR PIKE AT BRENIG:
Most anglers who fly fish for pike do so from one of Brenig's hired boats. However if you wish to fly fish for pike from the shore, just reserve your date on our own booking system and when you check in at the Visitor Centre just say you are fly fishing for pike. You are not limited to fishing from a peg and may explore the lake.
Note to all anglers: If someone has booked a pike peg they must be given access
even if you have been fishing there for trout before they arrive.

​
Llyn Brenig offers our members top class still-water fly fishing in a stunning location. When conditions are right anglers can enjoy brilliant 'top of the water' sport, which is why our committee have renewed our tickets for Brenig, Alwen / Aled in 2025.
BRENIG/ALWEN/ALED IS STRICTLY PRE-BOOKABLE......
On arrival either report to the Brenig Visitor Centre with your membership card or telephone 01490 420463 to confirm that you are fishing with RASAAA. Don't forget your catch return (download here) and to regIster your vehicle every time.
Do not turn up at Brenig (not having booked) unless you are intending to buy a day ticket.
All Brenig rules must be followed including leaving a catch return on the day of fishing. Our usual booking conditions apply as published in our handbook, only one Brenig booking at any one time. Our committee will monitor the bookings to ensure fair access for members.
This a significant investment and members should take every opportunity to make use of this facility, saving as much as £28.50 per day with our arrangements.
If you'd like to fish from a boat, two RASAAA members could split the cost of boat hire for a cheap day on the lake.
