INTERNET FISHING REPORT
A mixed bag of weather since the last report with days of heavy showers and quite windy but today the wind has dropped and it is cool but pleasant and the forecast for the next few days is cooler but fine.Rivers are still at good heights and Salmon are tending to settle in pools. Cooler weather has ensured good fishing for rainbow trout and coarse fish but not as many people are fishing now when they should be out enjoying excellent sport.
Dubbs, Ghyll Head and High Newton Reservoirs
On the right days there has been some good top of the water fishing with small hoppers, klinkhammers, daddies and fry patterns.Down below lures are starting to work on sinking lines.Pick the right day for good sport as these waters can be very exposed at times.
Esthwaite Water
Although it was windy last week rod average was 4.9. Trout are feeding hard on fry so use patterns such as cats whisker, sparkler, minkie, floating fry etc. Best results have come to medium sinking lines but sometimes fish are higher and an intermediate line is better. Big hatches of smaller buzzers in the evenings with a few sedge producing excellent late top of water fishing.Best areas are ticket office frontage, the bank at 4 tree bay, opposite the ticket office, the car park and the boathouse stretch on the eastern shore. Best fish a superb 13lb 3oz Rainbow which took a worm in front of the ticket office.Pike fishing fairly slow with most coming to lures but some are being taken on deadbaits.Nick Dene had 5 Pike to 18.5lb.
Farleton View Fishery
The lake is now full, clear and much cooler and sort at present is magnificent with the best Rainbow at 9lbs.Numerous other good fish around 5lb + are being caught. With less insect life ures are now starting to work well and one local angler had a bag of 14 and several anglers are taking 10 or more fish in a session. Good lures are white and gren and orange fritz but most wil be worth a try especially menace varient which works very well.Damsel nymph and buzzers also producing well and on some days fish are rising to dry flies. If windy try a daddylonglegs.Rod average is now 3.8 and improving.
Gatebeck Tarn
Not much activity because of cooler weather but Carp will respond well to maggot, corn and pellets and a few worms wil sort out the Perch.
Kentmere Lake
Water levels have droped by about 4` in the last two weeks and the smaler lake is fishing steadily but no reports of big fish. Salmon fishing only is now available in the big lake but you could also catch a brownie hereHeadbangers are giing double figure catches and most lures fished on floating or intermediate lines are working as are fry patterns.Non stop hatches of black buzzers here so make sure youhave pupa and emerger patterns.
Killington Reservoir
Very few reports because of the wild weather but rainbows should still be taken on worms, spoons, plugs etc while fry patterns of fly will work well on slightly calmer days. We assume that the cheaper day ticket for coarse fishing has commenced but we have not been informed.It is usually fairly easy fishing for Roach here with most baits fished ledger method. If you want any information about Killington then you should call 015395 68393.
Lancaster Canal
No reports in the last few days but Perch , Roach and Pike fishing should be good. A few worms, maggots and a bit of corn will do the trick and for Pike a small spoon or sprat deadbait will take fish.Cooler weather always sends the canal anglers into hibernation just when they should be fishing as this water fishes great in the Autumn.
Ratherheath Tarn
The water is now cooler but still some nice bags of Carp and Bream. Tench have slowed but plenty of Rach etc to maggot. Best baits in the last few days have been halibut pellets, small pellets, crab and crawfish boilies plus soft pellets such as cats and dogs and worms , corn and meat. With a variety of baits a good session should be on the cards.
River Kent
The river is still at a nice height but is much lower than recently causing the fish to pause in the pools.Salmon are throughout the river in very good numbers and even in the lower water fish are being taken and a magificent fish over 20lbs was returned by an angler fishing the "free" Kendal town stretch.Where permitted shrimp is doing very well at this height.
Rydal and Grasmere
High water but Pike and Perch being caught from both lakes and Grasmere is producing nice Pike to deadbaits on the roadside bank. Rydal still producing to deadbaits but anglers trying ondex type spoons are also picking up fish. Perch to small spoons, worms etc.
Tenement Farm
No reports this week.
Tewitfields Coarse Lake
Nothing much to report this week because of the weather but baits fished on the bottom will give decent fishing with Carp, Bream and Rudd in particular. Try worms for the Perch.
Tewitfields Trout lake
Col water is giving excellent fishing with a rod average of 4.5. Bestfish a 4.5lb Rainbow and best bag 15.Lures are starting to work but buzzers on a floating line and damsels and fry patterns will take a ot of fish.On 6 November the lake will become any method except spinning to alw a clear out of stock after which it will be restocked with quality trout and revert back to fly fishing. After two weeks spinning will also be allowed and there could bsome outstanding fishing here in November. Remember that there are some excellent Pikeand a lot of good carp in the lake so why not have a shot
Windermere
Still high but some nice Pike are being taken by boat anglers and lures of all sizes and types are taking fish and we have even had reports of Pike taking small killer jigs.Perch fishing still goo.d to worms and spinners and some good Roach fishing to maggot, corn and bread
Wych Elm
This lake is lovely and full and very clear and the cooling of the water has prompted a lot of larger fish to show and last week while giving instruction we caught superb trout of 5lb 12 oz and 10lb in a full bag.Several fish of 8 lbs have been caught with individual catches into the teens being taken even on short sessions. Lures are starting to work again but there is a hatch of tiny green buzzers most days so a size 16 olive epoxy is a good bet along with headbangers especially in red,yellow or orange/yellow. Sedges and daddies plus hoppers producing on windy days.
