Locals know that Snowdonia, with its stunning coastal areas and numerous inland lakes, is the best place for fishing in North Wales and if you are a tourist and love to fish you will not be disappointed with the choices on offer.
Snowdonia’s famous coast lies just west of Tyn Rhos Hotel. For shore and sea fishing the Llyn Peninsula offers access to the Irish Sea. This beautiful area running along Snowdonia’s coast provides excellent deep water fishing remarkably close to shore. This is thanks to mountain granite which ends in steep cliffs as it reaches the sea. With sandy and pebble beaches dotted across this wide expanse of coast, fish are present in abundance.
Another excellent location for sea fishing that is just a short drive from Tyn Rhos is the Menai Strait. This strip of sea separates Anglesey from the rest of North Wales. This is an excellent choice of fishing destination particularly during spring and autumn time. You will find sea bass the most numerous and there is plenty of bait on offer such as crab and lug.
