Dwfn means deep, and whoever named it wasn't exaggerating for effect — this is a smaller lake with more water underneath it than its modest surface lets on, tucked into the same stretch of hill above Talybont as its neighbours. Talybont AA's day ticket, bought at the garage or pub down in the village, covers it along with the rest of their upland water, April through September. Fly only, wild brown trout only, and enough solitude that you'll likely have the bank to yourself. It's not a lake that announces itself. You fish it because it's there, because the walk up is honest work, and because the trout owe nothing to a stocking van.
