INTERNET FISHING REPORT
Again we have had mixed weather mainly with strong winds and some very heavy rain. Today the wind is easterly so very little rain will come our way and the forecast is drier but cooler.Good river levels exists for the last couple of days of one of the best local Salmon seasons in many many years.
Dubbs, Ghyll Head and High Newton Reservoirs
Mainly very wild days have kept most anglers away but on calmer days there has been some good surface sport to small black dries and emergers such as vees suspender buzzer, f flies, hoppers and tiny klinkhammers. Lures and intermediate lines with menace varients and white and green tadpoles and fritz patterns also producing. Reports of several tagged fish with different coloured tags showing that the trout over winter well.
Esthwaite Water
The last week has given excellent trout fishing with a rod average of 7.1. Fish have mainly been fry bashing so patterns such as cats whiskers, budgies, sparklers, zonkers and menace varients have been great producers.The black buzzer hatches are slowing but in calmer spells rainbows are rising and taking them on the top.Best bag in last few days was 30 to shrimp patterns on an intermediate line fished figure of eight. Best trout was 6lbs.Boat anglers getting best sport with best fishing at the ticket office frontage as well as the cages. Bank anglers are doing well from the car park and the boathouse on the eastern shore. Pike fishing is a bit patchy and fish are falling to lures and deadbait. Andrew Laird took his 3rd twenty this month on a static herring and it was 24lb.
Farleton View Fishery
Fishing very well in the very clear water. Some anglers have had over twenty rainbows in a session.Lures are still marginally best with white and green, black or black and green, orange and naturally the menace varient.In calmer conditions black vees suspender buzzers are producing wel as there is a steady hatch f black buzzers most of the day.Bloodworms in red, yellow sparkle or orange are giving great results and best patterns are the beaded marabou versions (headbangers).Plenty of fish to about 6lbs caught.
Gatebeck Tarn
Not many anglers fishing and the fishing has slowed down a little with main sport coming at last light with carp, roach, rudd and perch falling to maggot. Corn and small cubes of meat will also give good bags here.
Kentmere Lake
The smal lake is full but fishing reasonably wel mainly to black buzzers and red headbangers but on some wild days trout are coming to floating fry and daddy longlegs
Killington Reservoir
Odd trout reported to worm but there does not sem to have been the numbers fishing this year. This could be because the weather has been a lot more unsettled. Roach fishingis now under way and maggots and bread are all that is required for these easy fish. If you want any information about Killington then you should call 015395 68393.
Lancaster Canal
Visitors this week have taken roach and perch on maggot. No reports of any pike but very few anglers on the canal now that it is cooler.
Ratherheath Tarn
With the half term there have been some good catches still of carp into the teens of pounds. Good baits are pelletsand halibut pellets and small bilies.Some of the nicer fish have come to anglers using pva bags thus depositing plenty of food all around their hook baits.Luncheon meat is also producing along with maggots and worm.
River Kent
The Kent has been up several times this last two weeks with lots of Salmon on the move. Today it is lower but will remain at a good level until the season ends on Sunday.Salmon have come to flying condoms, fly, shrimps and also worms.It is getting to a good shrimping level now where allowed and in October red is usualy best.This season,because of ample rises at the right time, has given runs of Salmon that many anglers had forgotten could exist. Many anglers have caught in excess of 20 fish each. One encouraging trend is that many of these anglers have put many of their fish back.We have had reports of anglers fishing this week taking away very dark fish
Rydal and Grasmere
Both waters are high but are still producing some steady sport but not as hectic as earlier in the year. Deadbaits and lures both working and main angling emphasis is for pike.
Tenement Farm
No reports this week.
Tewitfields Coarse Lake
Fishing brilliantly and Andy Wade from nearby Burton took a lovely Mirror Carp of 15lb 5oz on luncheon meat. That was his fifth double carp in 3 sessions all to meat.Mixed bags are being taken with worms and maggots giving best results.
Tewitfields Trout lake
Although Les is introducing any method on 6 November for a short period to reduce trout numbers prior to restocking he has introduced 400lb of extra trout and bags of upto 11 reported caught to 5lb. Rod average is 3.88 .Daddies and GRHE are doing the business.
Windermere
High water but still some nice pike taken mainly to boat anglers.Nothing large reported. Lures are doing welsuch as Bull Dawgs and any soft tails but some are being taken on smallplugs such as Big S and 11cm rapalas. Still some perch and roach mainly to maggot.
Wych Elm
The cold clear water has definely switched the trout on and several anglers have had bags into the teens of fish up to 8lbs.The big catches have generally come on beaded marabou bloodworm patterns (headbangers) and if you do not have some then you should try them as they work superbly well in all the local waters. Still tiny olive buzzers hatching most days plus a few black ones. Lures also producing and most fritz patterns are working well on intermediate lines.
