The Pleasure Lake

 

 

Llyn Y Gors was one of the first coarse fisheries in the country to introduce ghost carp into a mixed fishery - over ten years ago - with amazing results. The fish feed like mad, and also fight like mad. Growth rates have been phenomenal, so if you want good sport, come and fish the Pleasure Lake at Llyn Y Gors. But the ghosties don't have it all their own way. The lake is also stacked out with roach, rudd, tench, golden orfe, bream and perch (the record stands at over 4lb), as well as crucian carp. Most methods work - pole, whip, feeder - maggot, corn, luncheon meat, method mix - take your pick. Staff and regulars will always give a few tips on what's working at the moment.

 

And the surroundings couldn't be better. Right next to the Camping Field (numbers are strictly limited and all campers are anglers anyway) with superb views of the Snowdonia range - mountains which seem different every time you look at them.

 

The current lake record is held by Steve Burrows from Liverpool with a massive 272lb in a 9 hour session!!!. Could you beat that???

 

A day ticket on the Pleasure Lake costs £8.00 for adults and £5.00 for juniors. Fresh maggots and any tackle required are available from our on-site tackle shop. Barbed hooks are banned, and only branded pellets (ringers, dynamite etc) or pellets purchased in the shop are allowed - see our rules page. Booking is advisable in the main holiday season, as we never let the lakes get overcrowded and preference is always given to residents in the self-catering cottages and anglers camping on site.
