I am off to the lakes for a few days next week. not fished this area before. I have found Ghyll Head.

Has anyone fished it this year, any tips? is it worth a visit??

thanks

Ian

I fished it last August on my very first fly-fishing trip. It was hot and the fish were deep, but somehow I managed to winkle two out on a Kate McLaren so it will always have a place in my heart. The scenery is stunning, as you would expect.

Sorry I can't give you any more up to date info, but I'd give it a big thumbs up!

Good luck.

Hi', Ian. You could also try High Newton, another WADAA water, which is much shallower and an excellent top-of-the-water venue. Good luck wherever you fish. Hope the weather is kind.TC
PS If you go to High Newton, watch out for the very sharp turn off the main road.

thanks for the feedback, Ghyll head is more local I think? I am staying in Langdale so that looked the better option? I look forward to hearing how you got on tomorrow.

Cheers

Ian

3 of us caught 25 fish . Floating / midge tip lines with buzzers , bloodworm , p.t.n and diawl bachs .
Best areas were at the shallow top end off the platforms and working our way down the same side as the platforms toward the dam but not going past the first point.
I think the wind has pushed the stock fish up that end - they seem to sticking together in little pods. Probably worth fishing anywhere that the wind is blowing into. Whenever the wind dropped there was fish on top .
We had a good days sport returning all the fish. I'm told it's due another stocking within the next few days so it should continue to fish well.

Hope this helps.

Steve,

Good to see your back in action and catching!
Its not long now until the serious stuff starts!
