You going for the 'treatment' at Jubilee house? I was there a few years ago, not bad.

 

Did you do ok at Whins? you might have liked to try Ullswater in April, real wild fishin'.

Yes Emma,went for the treatment..I fished Whins for about 5 hours,fished til dusk.I must say this could be a cracking water if it weren't full of tiny silvers.I did manage on decent bream,a small tench and lost a carp.

I think you might find it really frustrating,,there are far too many 'bits' in there and not enough predators.

I will be fishing Ullswater soon,i fish from the bank of the campsite i normally stay at for trout and perch...

Good luck at whins

Thanks for the reply. I shall give it a go anyway, I need a change of fishing scenery at least for a session or two. I plan to feeder fish it with worms/sweetcorn so that may put off the very small stuff, and perhaps have a carp rig out too, just to see, I find it difficult to get excited about carp, but manage a couple of 'em most summers.

 

Shore fishing on Ullswater can be fun, there are some good stripeys in there, but they are a bit hit and miss amongst the six inchers. Minnows abound in the shallows and make great bait, just don't get caught using them.
