Thanks for watching mate! Was a great experience to be amongst all that

Any advice on getting through to the bigger perch? How big have you caught them to in there? Thanks for watching!

Thanks mate glad you liked it!

Thanks mate! Quite a different style to what I go for these days but I’m glad you like it

Thanks mate! Going back some time this one!

Ullswaters definitely on my list of places to fish, driven past many times and always wanted to have a go. Not sure where to start though bank fishing but I bet on a boat it’s incredible!

Bongs Fishing I’ve had days on there well over 150 plus fish in the boat. Nothing massive up to 2lb but great fun 🎣

Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it!

Definitely is! Do you do much fishing around the Lake District? Apparently there’s some big trout in there too

Bongs Fishing Yeah mate, all of my fishing is done in and around the Lake District, mainly western Lake District.

Should have a crack together one afternoon this summer, plenty of places to explore. I’ve always wondered what’s the lure fishing like in the sea off west Cumbria?

Bongs Fishing Yeah can be good, all about timing & knowing the area you’re fishing. If you’re going to have a go the best advice I can give is just be patient and put the time in.

The sinking hornet definitely made a good first impression, hoping for a similar performance from it next time out

Thanks man glad you enjoyed it!

I agree!

DPfishing thank you! Hoping to get back out there and beat it again soon 🎣

Thank you it was a great days fishing! I've never fished grasmere, heard theres some big pike in there too. Im planning to do a lot more in the lakes over summer

Thanks man glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! It is a wonderful place

It’s a free water to fish and I either use 6 or 8lb maxima chameleon mono for Ultralite lure fishing 👍

Most of the time yes sometimes I keep them if I’m camping

Usually when I’m perch or trout fishing as soon as I feel any sort of bite I strike! The places like these I fish there aren’t many fish above 2lb so it isn’t a problem. With pike fishing it’s a bit different though! All down to personal preference I guess. Hope you enjoyed the video regardless!

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it! This was just a cheap telescopic from China but I’ve recently upgraded to a rigged and ready travel rod

Unfortunately I have forgotten the first rule on a couple of occasions, often I’m too eager to get fishing 😂 hopefully it doesn’t happen again

Bongs Fishing done it plenty of times before I learnt my lesson take care mate 👍

thank you

I use 6 or 8 pound maxima chameleon mono most of the time mate! I never use a leader on this lake because there’s no pike in there really, or none that have ever been proved to have been caught. I sometimes use a trace if fishing light on other lakes but it depends what size lures I’m using. Micro jigs than are only a couple of cms long I don’t usually bother but any perch/trout lures that are bigger I’ll get a 15lb wire trace on just in case! Glad you’re enjoying the videos mate and thanks for the comment!

Thanks for watching Richard! Easier said than done when you fish on the move like i do, always covering ground so much easier to have it folded away. Definitely lost a few fish because of it though!

Savage gear rotex spinners are a great place to start along with the savage gear hornet 3.5cm if you have a rod light enough to cast them. Those two lures will be irresistible for any perch and trout in there

@@adventurefishinguk thanks very much for the response, appreciate the help as a novice its very hard to find concise information on rigs etc, you've earnt yourself a new sub

@@Pineappld_ thanks for subscribing mate I appreciate that! Feel free to drop a comment on any of my other videos you watch and I’ll be sure to get back to you as soon as I can 👍

@@adventurefishinguk Appreciate that greatly

I know I really need to get a new one, lost my previous one!

I’d say probably cheap mate yeah or damaged. For spinners Mepps and savage gear rotex are my go-to 👍

Plenty of googling and using Google maps will give you some great information 👍

@adventurefishinguk the lake your on looks amazing but could you park near it, might be out of the question but I want to ask if I could maybe join you at somepoint

Just checked Google can't find anywhere that you can park at might invest in a kayak

Thank you! I’ve returned the favour

Personally I like helping other people catch fish too rather than keeping it to myself. This is because I find my fishing locations myself and do a lot of exploring, I don’t mind sharing what I find! This was the first place I tried on a huge lake so I’m sure it won’t do any harm. I get what you mean though, if someone told me a place to go to and keep quiet I absolutely would but as I find them myself through trial and error I’m happy to make videos on my experiences!

Plenty of places to park all round the lake

@@adventurefishinguk might give it a go over the next few days do i start at the dam end and take it from there i fancy drop shotting by the way

@@fredbailey2076 For perch and dropshotting i'd say start at the far end on the bank with trees

Thanks for the comment mate I really appreciate it! I've not heard of a pike being caught in their either, just saw it online + thought it would be logical to assume there were a few in there! Would I be right in assuming where i was fishing is the best perch location? I hope to go back in summer and fish near the dam wall for trout. It would be a dream come true for me to accidentally catch a char from the bank!

@@adventurefishinguk You can pick the perch up all over Haweswater, but I'd say go over to Riggindale over the hill & past the woods, its a lot shallower with an earthen grassy bottom & can be a bit more sheltered when the wind is blowing. If you want to catch some trout you'll need to go earlier in the season but not too early as it is at 700ft & a very cold place especially when the wind is blowing over High Street. The trout tend to disappear mid May as it warms up & at the same time the perch move into the shallows. Do your best. Also, on another subject, Goats Water hasn't got any char in it anymore due to the acid rain of the 70's & 80's, but I believe they could well still be some in Blind Tarn, all be it, very small ones. I know on your Blind Tarn video you wanted to know how the trout & char got up there, they were most likely taken up by copper & slate miners back in the day (there was a slate mine right next to the tarn)

Yeah free for anyone with a license!

@@adventurefishinguk Thanks mate, Fished Ullswater from the shore last week but wasn't the best.

I’ve never tried Ullswater I hear there’s a lot of perch in there, probably quite hard to find because of how big it is though

Happens to the best of us 😂 I hadn't long been fishing when i released this video, happens a lot less often now!

Thanks for the support, i've subscribed back! Culturally we don't tend to eat perch in the UK, they're more prized game fish and catch and release is preferred to keep the populations up and so people can catch them again when they grow!

@@adventurefishinguk Thanks i did not know that looking forward to learning more from you...Bill
