| Moving North, the champagne was flowing in Bala as the Maes Gwyniad outfit clinched the One North title with a 20-7 victory over Nant Conwy. |
| The gwyniad, which dates back to the Ice Age and is described as similar to a herring, lives in Llyn Tegid near Bala. |
| Experts fear the gwyniad, a kind of herring, could be wiped out in Snowdonia's Llyn Tegid because of the growth of a poisonous algae in the lake. |
| Salmon, sewin, and gwyniad are to be found therein, from May until after the autumn leaves are falling. |
| River fish of note include char, eel, salmon, shad, sparling and Arctic char, whilst the Gwyniad is unique to Wales, found only in Bala Lake. |
| The lake is inhabited by the gwyniad, a white fish of the salmon family unique to Llyn Tegid. |
