My daughter and grandson love fishing as do my husband and myself. Our grandson is only 7yrs old but catches more and bigger fish than all of us. When the visit they always go into Y Gwyniad as they are helpful and talk to our grandson giving him pieces of information and knowledge. Great shop and great people 👍. 😊

Really helpful and friendly, went in with a broken tent pole to see if they had a replacement however as there was no replacement the chap went out the back and came back with a fishing rod section cut to size to as a temporary repair. He wouldn't accept any money but suggested we put a donation into the charity box. Fabulous customer service to be commended 5*

I go hear regularly when I work in Bala this Friday I was in ther and asked for a permit for the river on Saturday when I got home I looked at it as I put it in my fishing gear it only had Fridays date on it 😞 that ruined my weekend will probably go hear agen if i need to defiantly won't plan to go hear. If you are looking for a very good tackle shop go to foxons St Asaph you wil get everything you need there

A disappointing shop. I always like to support local business over big faceless chain stores, and since yr awyr agored gwych is my passion I always try to check out the independent places like this when I get close enough to pop in. The name of the shop was very enticing, 'Y Gwyniad'- it's a small fish unique to Llyn Tegid (aside from a secondary safety net colony) so I had high hopes here particularity for the fishing tackle. Walking through the door you're greeted by generic outdoorsy gear. It's the sort of stuff you'd buy on a market stall or campsite shop. You've got the basics- gas, torches, even a few pocket knives ( Whitby catalogue stuff) hand warmers, bootsocks, pocket ponchos and so on. It's right down the lower end of the scale to the point of being disposable. This isn't gear you're investing in or expecting to last much longer than whatever caravan holiday you're on but will get you by. I was shocked to see reasonably comprehensive range of fly tying gear, one of the best I've found and it's reasonably priced for what it is. They've easily got 40 different types of dubbin alone on the wall along with hare masks, feathers, tinsel, and even a good few hook types along with plenty of pre tied local patterns. The funny thing though is all of the spoons, lures, bubble floats, weights and ready to fish gear for the casuals (all Rovex type stuff so straight out of the ML catalogue) are madly over priced, I know this is a touristy type shop but sioe wael bois. The lass behind the counter seemed thoughtfully disinterested too, I initially thought this might be a bit of saes prejudice as my wife is from Derbyshire (and has the accent) but even when I turned on the Cymraeg ( un o'r hogia Fôn dwi) it failed to gain any kind of acknowledgement let alone engagement. After the frosty reception we left without making a purchase. tl:dr if you're after camping gear or fishing tackle head up to Corwen. Soldier of Fortune on the industrial estate will do you for any camping situation you'll encounter anywhere in the world, and the tackle shop in Corwen Manor on the highstreet is a legit Diawa stockist and very competitively priced.

An absolute gem of a shop. I always visit this shop when I'm in Bala as they have new stock all of the time. Even if you are not looking for something in particular it's lovely just to have a look around this shop. I would describe it as having a little bit of everything. It has all the camping and fishing essentials and is open all year round. Every time we have been in the lady serving us has always greeted us with a warm welcome and we often have a good chat. It's nice that these shops still exist even if they are few and far between. I hope the owners keep up the good work.

We went to shop when we were staying at pen y pont camping site. The staff were lovely and they had all the basic essentials for camping and more. The kids were even happy to find some little toys too. My son broke his glasses and I went in looking for small screwdrivers and the lady who works there fixed them for me. Thank you for that!!! They had wetsuits and all sorts of water equipment. Thank you to the lovely lady who fixed my sons glasses!! ❤️❤️❤️

Been going to this lovely shop everytime were down in bala such nice owners very helpful and always so polite and kind .I would highly recommend having a little visit next time you are in bala for all your needs ie camping ,fishing stuff and bait

For fishing supplies and advice of the local area Barry is really helpful, knows his stuff and happy to share his knowledge. I'm just a novice in fly fishing but I found it full of interesting fly tying materials and flies. There is a huge selection of fly line, leaders, tippets and standard monofilament and braid. Along with that, there are accessories, tools, rods and reels for all kinds of fishing. You could spend a small fortune in here!! I would recommend calling first to check if they are open. It is just Barry and his wife who run the shop so they cannot always be open. I highly recommend a visit for any visiting fisherman.
