Llyn Y Gors Coarse Fishery

Don't be put of by the name - pronouncing it is probably the most difficult thing about our fishery - and you don't need a passport to get to Ynys Mon (the Isle of Anglesey). Translated literally, it means lake in the bog or marsh. It appears on original Ordnance Survey maps as a marshy area covering part of what is now the Carp Lake and the adjoining land. The marsh is still there, attracting countless species of birds, butterflies, wild flowers and other forms of wild life

The fishery itself is firmly in the 21st Century. It is an independent fishery - newly owned by Kevin and Karen Coe - catering for specimen and pleasure anglers who look on angling as a means of pure relaxation. You won't find hundreds of pegs for match anglers here. What you will find is choice: hide away among the trees round the Carp Lake, fish for specimen fish in Thompson's Pool, fish virtually outside your own caravan on the Pleasure Lake, teach your kids to fish on the Children's Lake, take part in one of the matches on the 30-peg Match Lake - sometimes even in fancy dress - or tuck yourself away in a secluded corner somewhere and let the rest of the world do the worrying. Our Self-Catering Accommodation is only a stone's throw from the lakes - and useful as a base to explore Anglesey and Snowdonia - or bring your own tourer or tent on to our Camping Field.

Kevin turned his life upside down recently by taking on Llyn Y Gors. Being in the computer industry took him to the highest level of stress and by taking on Llyn Y Gors has seen the magic of it ,and seen the relaxation you get from being on the fishery not just fishing itself. Being in the beautiful surroundings of Snowdonia and scenic lakes all around gives real peace and quiet it lets you leave your worries behind

Llyn Y Gors is aimed at anglers getting away from the busy ways of life and fishing for pure enjoyment. Bags of 173lb have been seen on the Pleasure Lake and average fish of around 6lb. On the match lake there have been bags of 175lb with fish at an average of 3lb
