Diwaunedd is fished, oddly enough, by a club from the Wirral — Hoylake Fly Fishers make the trip in from across the water to look after this remote patch of Snowdonia upland, which tells you something about how far anglers will travel for a lake worth the walk. The wild browns run small as a rule, most a pound or under, but there are bigger fish in there — reports of browns up to five pounds keep the water honest, the kind of story that gets repeated at the car park more often than it gets confirmed on the bank. Arctic char share the depths too, a cold-water relic most visitors never see or catch, adding a genuine oddity to what's otherwise a classic small hill lake.
