Pike Fishing Windermere.

[bullyson 2,080]

Hi lads.

my local lake is windermere and as i fish it most weeks through out year and was wondering if any of the guys from here have fished here and done well. Its not the easiest of lakes bit does produce good fish when the lake is on.

Since sept last year ive had well over 60 fish biggest being 25lb 04oz. Had a bad spell in march and april where no matter where i fished or what bait i couldnt catch a fish but recently its being fishing well and ive landed 20 pike these last 3 weeks biggest 24.5lb.

Loads of doubles too uo to 18lb. Few 30lb fish have been banked this year too which is good. Im trying for a 30lb plus fish but its hard and closest ive came is 29lb 06oz which was a hell of a fish but still not my 30. Ill put some pics up tomorrow and if Nyone has fished here bang some pics up or onfo. Cheers keith

lure works well but sometimes you really have to put a shift in for a few fish. A ferox of 17lb was caught a week or so ago on a small buldawg so im told and a lot of big fish have been tempted by lures. Just finding the right drop offs and trolling also does well at times. Cheers

What permits do you need mate? Is it just a rod licence? I'm going up to pooley bridge this weekend and was thinking of sticking a rod in? I know it's ullswater but what licences do you need on there also? Cheers bud good fish btw

[bullyson 2,080]

just a rod licence mate. but that only covers two rods so if you fish with more than two rods you'll need another license.

some good trout in pooley bridge and salmon are being caught atm too. nothing big though. atb

[bullyson 2,080]

also be careful what baits you use too if fishing windermere.. there is no fresh water baits allowed ie. eels . trouth . roach. perch etc .. doesnt stop people using them but just a heads up pal.

Cheers bud that's good to no that I can just take a rod up when we go, I usually use sea baits for pike anyway, so I suppose you can just fish anywhere there's public access then? We're not going to pooley bridge now were going sea fishing tomorrow night but I'm just south of Kendal so within easy reach I've fished it before with lures but never really done much just a few jacks.

Cheers for the info bud

also most public access places get hammered as will any lake where you can pull in and fish. its a big lake and plenty of places so usually park and walk to hotspots..

National trust you can fish bottom and top as far as im aware.

or better still if you fish from boat as you can get to drop offs where you cant cast to. cheers

[air gun ant 1,666]

yeah cheers bud, sounds like a plan! let me know one time when your going and ill nip up if not doing owt
