INTERNET FISHING REPORT
At last the hot weather has broken and we have had some rain which has filled the lakes and rivers. Forecast is for more but it will miss us as the wind will be from the East..
Dubbs, Ghyll Head and High Newton Reservoirs
WE suspect that the lakes will be stocked this week for the bank holiday. If this is the case then intermediate lines and lures will produce well especially a dawsons olive. Top of water fishing will improve with the coler cloudy weather and top patterns will be daddies, floating fry, hoppers and sedges. damsel nyphs and buzzers will still fish well .
Esthwaite Water
Rain has cooled the lake down and fish are on top again and floating and intermediate lines are needed.Trout have been taken on hoppers and daddies, sedges, damsels, buzzers, cats whiskers and orange fritz. Best bag 9 rainbows to 4lb 8oz and rod average 3.75. Best areas for boats are the cages, boils, weather buoy and swimming pool. From the bank try opposite the ticket office, the boathouse, grubhole and National Trust Field.
Farleton View Fishery
Prior to the weather break day time fishing was difficult with most fish coming to small cdcs and headbangers. damsels are slowing down and a few dragon fly evident with some olives, plenty of daddies and masses of corixa in the lake.Fish to about 5lb reported. In current conditions daddy longlegs, sedge patterns, hoppers and cdcs will catch. Too much weed for lures on intermediate lines..
Kentmere Lake
Lake now full. There will be Salmon and Sea Trout in main lake as they have been seen jumping the weirs in Staveley. Small lake fishing ok and will improve in cooler weather with daddies, grass hoppers, floating fry and hoppers likely to be best flies. Below menace varient, orange fritz and headbangers and epoxy buzzers will fish well.
Killington Reservoir
Prior to the rain the lake did not fish too well but now there is more and cooler water prospects are very good to worm, spinners and killer jigs for trout. Bread either flake or punch will get the roach and for perch try same tactics as for trout..If you want any information about Killington then you should call 015395 68393.
Lancaster Canal
Cloudy weather has improved day time fishing and tench still dominate catches but roach, perch, carp and pike also taken. Maggots, corn and pellets fishing best.
NEW FISHERIES
Gatebeck Tarn fishing very well with individual bags of 100 carp to maggot and flavoured corn. Tenement Farm also fishing ok but a bit weedy.
Ratherheath Tarn
Fishing well although it was slow for a couple of days last week with the change in weather. Good carp to mid teens and tench and bream to 6lb being taken plus masses of roach and gudgeon.Best baits halibut and 8mm pellets, most boilies, meats, flavoured corn and maggots.
River Kent
Drop everything and go fishing. At last the August conditions we have waited several years for have arrived with several small lifts plus a big one late last week. Most fish waited for the big lift but it brought in a lot of Salmon. Good catches being taken on worm, condoms, tobies, rapalas and allys shrimp. Best brown trout 2lbs and a young visitor has taken a lovely fresh 3lb 8oz sea trout. Prospects excellent..
Rydal and Grasmere
These lakes now full but prior to rain had continued to fish very well for pike and perch. Pike falling to mackeral and perch to worms, maggots and killer jigs with plenty of roach to maggot on light line.
Tewitfields
The rain has lifted water levels and cooled the lake down and some big fish seen in the margins. Fishing had been poor but will now switch on especially with fry feeders.On top try floating fry, hoppers and daddies plus grass hoppers and down below white minkies, appetisers, buzzers and head bangers. ON the coarse lake fishing is good especially for carp rudd and bream. Best baits are corn and worm fished on the bottom.
Windermere
Still fishing well everywhere for perch. Very few reports of trout. Best baits have been maggots, worms, small spoons and killer jigs. Good roach sport to 2lbs in evenings and small pike to rapalas and bigger killer jigs.Lake is now full and sport may slow for a day or two as fish react to the changed temperature.
Wych Elm
Water levels now high and clarity good. Best bag 7 fish and best trout in last few days was 5lb 10oz.A few days ago a young angler Bob was instructing took 3 fish on a difficult morning with the best at 3lb 8oz. Buzzers, black gnats, hares ear and headbangers all producing with daddies and hoppers in wind..
