Boat or bank?

 

If boat, with sonar or without?

[henda11]

it will probably be bank

Hopefully someone who knows those lakes can help out then.

 

The only ones I know who are familiar with them are at Wingham this weekend fishing.

ime from the lakes your best bet is from windermere and uls water and burn moor tarn if your brave tarn side has lots of pike in but you need to get thru the jacks first hope this helps

well really it would be my 1st time pike fishing, ive got most of the gear for pike fishing apart from a suitable pike rod, but also what i need help with is, if anybody knows of any decent lodges, hotels or cottages very close to windermere lakes so i can fish for pike and also whether i need any kind of permit or day ticket? any information is appreciated.

well for starters as a beginer id avoid the lakes if you can they are all daunting waters and you wont be fising in two dimentions as you normally are as depth really comes into play on these places any rd over 2.5 tc will do but tbh the bigger the better up here im on 3.25 and 3.5s

mono needs to be a minimum of 18lb normal mono for the igfa ones of thats what you use head above 20lb bs wire needs to be heavy there is no place for the soft or skinny as you will be fishing over shelves that are not dissimilar from rock faces

 

truthfully i really would avoid windermere as there is little bank fishing but its available its on the windermere and ambleside daa card and you can get day tickets

 

hotels/campsites are way to numerous to go into

 

before you go if you want email me and ask as much as you like ill help as much as possible but again id get some local fishing done 1st and figure out your way around pike as chances are you wont catch much unless you really know what youre doing up here

 

im not trying to put you off id just sooner see someone take there time and get more out of it

 

if you google pacregion 31 im at the other end of the email address on that i think its pacregion31@gmail.com

 

Where are you from?
