[air gun ant 1,666]

hi, ive just got a new engine for a mates canal boat and it comes with an 11ft boat and trailer lol hes gonna take the engine and im gonna take the boat and trailer as i have a few outboards at home. i was just wondering what the procedure for getting it registered on the lakes is? can i register it for one and all or do i have to do each one individually ie windemere and ullswater etc i no you pay to use the slipways but i can probably carry this to launch it anywhere lol also is there any restrictions on engines? no 2stroke or electric only? and finally do you think a fishfinder/depth sounder is an essential peice of kit? im thinking it would help to find the drop offs?

thanks ant

It is individally it was £15 that includes your numbers for the boat then next year

it's just £5 . But it's best to give a ring first . I am on about windermere .

just been on the website and it says £20 for first reg + £10 for numbers and then £15 renewel per year? but i noticed that their office is just round the corner from my mrs work so ill pop in and see them.

cheers mate do you fish any of the other lakes and which do you prefer for pike and maybe trout on the fly? also i should ask, do you need to buy day tickets or can you just set of on the boat and get on with it?

thanks ant

Still not bad for a year . Windermere is pretty hard if you are just starting

if I was you I wood go to small lakes first .

good luck .

it appears not lol just windermere, ive just been informed after paying for my registration for windermere you can go on ullswater, coniston and derwent water for free lol andthe fishing is free on all of them apart from derwent water which is £6 per day for an adult ticket, not bad really?

i have a feeling its gonna be a fun summer!!!!
