Another great video George, what a wonderful place that was, be nice to spend a weekend in that little stone house, cosy ,. Please say hi to Georgia as well although we didn't see much of her. Best wishes 😎
That is mental fishing. Just goes to show, it's not about the size, but the skill of the angler and appreciation of the fish. Those fish are just stunning. Worth the effort to get there.
@@adventurefishinguk That's what my girlfriend says. Lol. But seriously, I'm over the otherside in Co. Durham. There are some.amazing Brownies in the River Tees.
@@adventurefishingukI never use barbless on any water and certainly know that barbless hooks cause far more damage to the fish. It is also true that barbless hooks cause far more lost fish during the fight.
Thanks mate! Yeah it’s always full of surprises, whether that he quantity of fish, size or markings! Never a full moment in the mountains that’s for sure
Sounds like a great idea, maybe not so much walking down the mountain at night! One to combine with a wild camp maybe, early morning could be good fishing too
Fantastic content George - great that you promote sustainability - many you tube anglers do not practice these essential fish handling skills/tips and get aggressive when that is pointed out to them
Thanks mate! Yeah sustainability is extremely important, especially places like this. I do sometimes worry about my impact as a TH-camr, so I try to do as much good as I can when I can. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@adventurefishinguk well tbh managed a good bit of Guiness and Rum as I was along with five friends (a 40th B'day bash) so it was a little cramped and I slept on the floor. Still good excuse to get up to watch sunrise with a Guiness and brilliant company. Actually we were so lucky that morning as the previous evening we had climbed up in a horrific rain storm and mega low clouds, you could not make out the lake below such was the lack of visibility. Then next morning like a slight switch had flicked and it was GLORIOUS up there. I highly recommend staying over if you are able it's etheral 😀
Just stumbled on this channel...absolutely love it!..the video catching those small trout on a tiny stream was fab...just goes to show what can be caught in the smallest of places...ive been thinking of jigging for perch and micro jigging looks great fun!...cheers!!😊
Thanks for subscribing mate I really appreciate that! Yeah fish can be caught in some incredible places and I love discovering them! Micro jigging is great fun 👍
@Adventure Fishing UK I've been fishing before and loved it but I'm always really intrigued by fly fishing so I think I'm going to have to commit soon, keep the videos coming!!!
Lovely area, luckily only 30-45 minute drive away 😁 never fished them tarns before tho maybe a future fishing trip. Congratulations on the 10k aswell 🥳
Grats on 10k sub mates, very well earned and deserved! Your videos are incredible. Sod walking up there for the lake haha! I'd still be at the bottom of the hill haha!! Amazing effort!
What an amazing place to fish! I guess most of us watching your videos enjoy the locations we fish as much as the fishing itself, but this is next level 👍
Great suggestion mate. I've used this before but don't have a great deal of confidence in it based on thinking that the bubble float may spook the fish. I'll have to try again!
@@adventurefishinguk it does not bother them have had fish take flys after just a few turns of the reel just make sure you have bubble float at the point with couple of droppers above it some people have flys trailing behind but you get to many fankles and tangles that way have caught thousands of trout and sea trout this way
Nice walk, nice session in a beautiful place, well done. Get yourself an 8/9ft travellers fly rod and reel and stuff if in your bag, that way you've always got a rod to hand if you need it. 🙂
What a great trip that's why we go out fishing to see breath taking views like that.the fish are a bonus. Similar to some lochs I used to fish when I was younger not far from my parents. I found little mepps or something with a flash worked well in those type of lochs rather than crank baits.
Thanks mate! Yeah it’s always such good fun fishing places like that. Mepps always work well, but tend to work better I find when the fish are chasing bait rather than flies. I did have a knock on a small one at first though!
After 30 seconds of coming across this video I subscribed. I’m stunned at the scenery and the quality of filming. Even on my iPhone it’s like ultra H D. More importantly the fishing expedition was really captivating and exciting to watch. An absolute class act.👍
Brilliant new upload. Some stunning scenery. Congrats on the 10k subscriptions. The advice given about Rigged & ready travel rods was spot on. Caught my second fish of my 2 months fishing, decent sized perch. The smuggler 5 is an amazing rod. Keep up the good work- tight lines!!
Well done George and on a veritable millpond too. I'm a fly man myself , just back from some wild trout fishing in Shetland. Not easy fishing but that's the most fun type of fishing. Cycle, walk , explore . Oh and well done on the 10000. My folks live near Poulton so keep expecting to bump into you on the Wyre or the Ribble. Congrats . Callum
Thanks mate! I'm hoping to do a bit more fly fishing over winter. You might bump into me down there on day aye, I don't fish the ribble too much but I'm hoping to this year!
Congrats on the 10k subs! You really deserved it! And what a place to go fishing, wow! Btw, I got my R&R X5 and can't wait to test it out. Very happy with it.
Great channel! I’m from Lancaster but am working over in Yorkshire Dales as a trainee GP - you’ve inspired me to get out with the fly rod after work. I’ll have to rediscover the fishing around the North West when I’m back home too, it’s been too long. All the best mate, best videos I’ve seen for ages 👌
Great video George and well done on 10k subs! I'd only ever seen American fishing channels on YT but I'm glad I found yours! You've inspired me to take up fishing, recently got some gear and I've since been twice locally with no luck but will certainly get out there more! Thanks again and well done 🙏
Congratulations on achieving 10K subscribers. I have always enjoyed taking a telescopic or similar light rod and seeing what lives in the smaller streams, seasonal ponds etc, I have had some surprises over the years with what species and sometimes the unexpected size of the resident fish, especially off the beaten track in India, Africa and the USA.
@@adventurefishinguk I was fortunate to grow up with my dad being a civil engineer building power stations and factories in the 60's and 70's so spent years living in exotic places and fishing unusual venues, Tigerfish and Vundu (catfish) in the Zambezi, then Lungfish in a seasonal pan (Small lake) take any opportunity to travel and go fishing, I had some good sessions when I was working in the USA as well.
@@Rhodietoo very fortunate! I hope to travel and fish a lot more soon, it’s just complicated with a baby. Off to Madeira though in a month or so, can’t wait!
congratulations on reaching 10,000 subscribers George , so very well deserved, love your Tarn fishing vids only wish my weary bones could get up to them👴, even if it were just for the views , stunning colours on the trout, catch you down the road
Thanks Neil! Been a very long road and it's great to see the progress. It's no easy task getting up there, at least this way you can enjoy the views without the hours of hard work walking! 😂
High isolated little places like that were often trial-stocked by the Victorians, as long as there's a reliable feeder to keep it oxygenated and with some spawning potential. Such fish can be relatively few, and disproportionately old for their size as available feed is often quite sparse, these are often quite acid little waters. As a useful option, try keeping a few small wet flies to be fished with a bubble float - this can let you cover more water than with a trad. fly rod. In such waters, black and claret hackled flies do well. Keep the bubble float well filled so there's just a small bubble of air left, it'll cause less wake that way. This method can be frowned on by illogical fly-only snobs, but the wee hooks cause less damage than do the grappling irons you're using here! If fishing such a float you can have it at the tip, or else at the inner end of the cast. If the latter, mounting it on a short snood can let bite detection be more sensitive as the trout needn't move the float to transmit a twitch up the line. But this is essentially surface fishing, flies are in the surface film. Very visual, LOTS of fun. Much moreso than spinners and other ironmongery!! For such a place I'd fish light, maybe 5lb mono main line with 3lb droppers. Or lighter? Use as long and limber a light rod as you can face carrying, not a wee toothpick as used here. With your spool filled to the brim, this lengthens casts with mono. Although these fish might tend to be small and elderly, occasionally one might occasionally outcompete its brethren and grow bigger, in rare cases even start to mop those up. So VERY occasionally you might just find yourself connected to a several-pounds "monster". I witnessed onesuch catch once, it made nearly four pounds. (Unfortunately, the rod wasn't mine). In a water like these such are sometimes thought to be better removed because of their predatory ways thinning out an inadequate population overmuch.
Thanks for the very detailed reply. I've heard a few other theories about how they got up there ranging from eggs on birds feet all the way to monks taking them up there as a food source. Miners from nearby mines was another interesting one. I may do some research and make a video on it one day! I've heard the bubble float can be a really good method. I've tried it once before but got put off by how much wake the float caused on the retrieve. I'll have to give it another go! Hopefully one day I come across one of these monstrous high altitude fish!
@@adventurefishinguk Surface wakes - flat calms, not great. With a ripple to medium waves you may find the flies are splashily grabbed almost on touchdown. Biggish (14?) zulus work well. Use a small transparent bubble float not quite full - you dont need to cast over the horizon. Twitch the gear back, *slowly*. Ripples/waves hide float-wakes well but these are never sophisticated fish in my experience. You may find small isolated lakelets like yours stuffed with wee troutlets if the breeding potential is high but the feeding poor, they reach a terminal size then grow no more because foraging drains all the nutrition they can harvest, arctic char in scottish lochs are often subject to this size limitation, topping out at less than half a pound. Acid water, limited grub. Result, stunted fish that can seem to be clones they're so similar. They're always lively wee things but often disappoint in the frying pan. Lots of fun checking these places, enjoy!
@Adventure Fishing UK if your not keen on using a bubble float because of the wake , a great float to use is a Bombarder float which come in floating and intermediate. Hardly makes ripples and is deadly. Tight lines
👍🏻 I have often thought about hitting some small waters on the moors by me.I dry fly rivers with fly rod and tenkara Brooks and small rivers with dry fly.Hitting small moor lakes is a good idea
Nothing better than lovely mountain wild brownies! Tight lines George!
Yeah nothing quite beats them! thanks for watching!
Another upload get in....Just what I needed after work 😀💪
Hope you enjoy it mate!
@@adventurefishinguk I always do mate. What a beautiful location
@@riverhuntersuk7387 Stunning place isn't it, hoping to be back soon!
@@adventurefishinguk Beat of luck, Can't wait to see how it goes. 👍
Congrats on 10k subs !!! Go and have a great night in the bothy and bring us another great video ! atb
Thanks mate! Definitely tempted... could be a bit of a rough night though!
Oh my god... The mountain and the place are just stunning enough... The fishes is a plus!
Couldn't agree more mate! Great place to fish
Another great video George, what a wonderful place that was, be nice to spend a weekend in that little stone house, cosy ,. Please say hi to Georgia as well although we didn't see much of her. Best wishes 😎
Thanks for watching and i'm glad you liked it! Yeah it would be great fun to spend a night in there. Georgia says hi back!
That is mental fishing. Just goes to show, it's not about the size, but the skill of the angler and appreciation of the fish. Those fish are just stunning. Worth the effort to get there.
Very true, it's more about the experience for me than the size of fish, and the location above all. That said, it's always nice to get a big one 👍
@@adventurefishinguk That's what my girlfriend says. Lol.
But seriously, I'm over the otherside in Co. Durham. There are some.amazing Brownies in the River Tees.
@@nicholaskemp2246 Looks a lovely place 👍
@@adventurefishinguk It is. I look forward to your video from here!!! Lol.
love the video brill.what a spot.gods own country
Thanks for watching mate, really appreciate it!
Beautiful out there :) Many Thanks for this beautiful video
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful scenery, location and great looking fishing lake
Thanks mate! Definitely one of the most stunning places i've ever fished 👍
Stunning place really looking forward to this summer
Summer is pretty much here already mate!
Proper wild brownies! Lovely vid. Thanks
Thanks for watching mate!
Thank you very much for the beautiful footage! I needed that!
Glad you enjoyed it Daniel and thanks for the comment!
lovely! new sub. I do what you do, rod in 1 hand Mrs in the other, and finding lovely isolated places. take care!
Thanks for subscribing, really appreciate it! Yeah there's nothing quite like fishing remote
can already tell this will be a good video
I hope it lives up to expectation mate!
@@adventurefishingukI never use barbless on any water and certainly know that barbless hooks cause far more damage to the fish. It is also true that barbless hooks cause far more lost fish during the fight.
What a great day. I love those little hidden and seldom fished waters. You never know just what might be in them.
Thanks mate! Yeah it’s always full of surprises, whether that he quantity of fish, size or markings! Never a full moment in the mountains that’s for sure
Lovely vid mate,,and congrats on getting to 10 k subscribers ,,👍🎣,,, they've piled on pretty fast ,,well done mucka
Thanks mate, they’re definitely starting to add up! Fingers crossed it keeps heading the way it is 👍
Absolutely stunning scenes. Loved this video from start to finish
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
I've seen this pond..in my dreams. What a surreal spot - and two absolutely beautiful fish. Lovely video！
Thanks mate, definitely one of my favourite videos to film!
Hi George, what a stunning location.
100% go back and stay overnight in that brilliant Bothey, it would make a great vlog.
All the best.
Really beautiful place isn’t it mate! Hoping to go back to that bothy, could be a tough nights sleep though but would definitely be good to film!
Love this one George. What a setting!
Thank you! Lovely little place isn't it
Nice to meet you Mr. vlogger , keep vlogging that s very interesting subject ..
Haha thank you Mr Viewer
Another great video! Cracking scenery around there.
Thanks mate! Stunning little place isn't it!
Congratulations George. Here's to the next 10k. And the rest.
Thanks mate! Fingers crossed the next 10 won’t be too far away 👍
You’ve inspired me to get PROPERLY out into nature (not just the local rivers and canals) and do some roaming and fishing 👍🏻
That's really great to hear mate thanks for the comment!
What a amazing spot and view George beautiful 👍👍
Thanks mate! One of the nicest places I’ve fished for sure
Super stuff, I run in the mountains in NI and always see small bodies of water and streams and think 'what if' brilliant to see this video
Thanks mate! Maybe time to start taking a travel rod with you when you’re running
what a place - return for the evening rise and your fly-rod. Some emerging patterns might also be in order on the lake as well.
Sounds like a great idea, maybe not so much walking down the mountain at night! One to combine with a wild camp maybe, early morning could be good fishing too
Hi really enjoyed my first visit to your channel
Thanks John, I appreciate that! Hopefully you enjoy the next visit too 👍
Wow, I so enjoyed watching this one. Great stuff
Thanks Michael, means a lot that you enjoyed it!
Fantastic video George.
That was exactly what it says on the tin (adventure fishing)
Epic views & lovely trout!!!!
🎣🐟😆
Thank you! Really beautiful place isn't it. Quite the experience catching fish up there!
I know where I would like to spend a week's holiday if I come back to the UK that little Stone House is fabulous
Looks like a cracking camping spot doesn't it mate!
@@adventurefishinguk certainly beats paying for a bed and breakfast!
Its surprising where the fish are and well worth the walk. Well done mate.
Thanks mate, yeah it was worth every step! No easy task but it was such an experience fishing up in the mountains 👍
Look at the view's fantastic video love the content mate 👌
Thanks mate, really glad you enjoyed it!
Some great scenery there fella. Makes me a bit homesick.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video!
Surprised it was Lake District, was convinced it was North Wales until you said.
Very enjoyable video, gonna watch your others now
Thanks for watching mate I’m glad you enjoyed it!
What a stunning place George a trout is a bonus. Tight lines George and congratulations on 10k subscribers 🎣👍
Thanks mate! Yeah it’s always great to just get up fishing places like this whether I catch or not!
Nice, I recognise that lake, shhhhh! 😍
My lips are sealed!
Anyone who knows the Lakes will suss where that is in a few seconds.
Where is this
Just one word…….. Outstanding!! ATB from deepest Dorset 👍
Thanks for watching Clive, glad you enjoyed the video!
should try corrour walk back down the rail tracks to loch na sheilagh. then look for a tiny loch next to it... you wont be disappointed
Thanks for the tip!
congrats on 10K !!!
Thank you!
Woah, that first fish is soo beautiful
Thank you!
Another brilliant video thank you, such fun to watch. Nothing too over the top just simple honest fishing👍👌 love it
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Top man for looking after the fish
I always treat them with as much respect as possible mate!
😲wow breath taking. 🙏 bless you mate 🙏
Thanks mate, you too!
Fantastic content George - great that you promote sustainability - many you tube anglers do not practice these essential fish handling skills/tips and get aggressive when that is pointed out to them
Thanks mate! Yeah sustainability is extremely important, especially places like this. I do sometimes worry about my impact as a TH-camr, so I try to do as much good as I can when I can. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Nice video, I have stayed in that bothy and yes the views are incredible especially sunrise oh wow!
I can imagine sunrise is special up there. Did you manage an okay nights sleep up there?
@@adventurefishinguk well tbh managed a good bit of Guiness and Rum as I was along with five friends (a 40th B'day bash) so it was a little cramped and I slept on the floor. Still good excuse to get up to watch sunrise with a Guiness and brilliant company. Actually we were so lucky that morning as the previous evening we had climbed up in a horrific rain storm and mega low clouds, you could not make out the lake below such was the lack of visibility. Then next morning like a slight switch had flicked and it was GLORIOUS up there. I highly recommend staying over if you are able it's etheral 😀
@@purplehead9511 that sounds like a great trip mate glad you got some good weather to wake up to 👍 hopefully I’ll be able to make it up there soon

Thanks mate! One of the nicest places i've ever fished that's for sure!
this place looks absolutely stunning!!!! I need to take up fly fishing and venture out it looks so good!!
Beautiful isn't it, i'm sure with a fly rod I could've caught a few more than I did!

You’ve don it again mate top angling skills
Thanks for watching mate!
Those little fellas are beautiful. If the young lady is good with a net then keep her!
Thank you! Haha i intend on it!
I've wild camped on all off them tarns stunning area of the lakes.
One of the best parts of the lakes in my opinion, just a shame it happens to be the furthest from me or I’d spend a lot more time over there!
@@adventurefishinguk I'll be taking my @rigged and ready rod next time I'm up there
YES! Fishing trip with bothy stayover.
LOL
Wouldn't be an easy night sleep but would definitely be a good laugh!
Using the floating lures...try tying a nymph, tied onto the treble, with about 18 inches of mono or fluorocarbon.
That's actually a fascinating idea mate i'll have to give it a go. Thanks for that!
Congratulations on the 10k dude. Soon come about that.
Love how your channel always proper lives up to its name...adventure fishing. 😁🥳🥳🥳
Thanks mate, yeah it's been going a bit mad lately. Hopefully it keeps going that way!
@@adventurefishinguk sure it will pal
Beautiful spots on those Trout
Lovely looking fish aren't they 👍
Lovely area, luckily only 30-45 minute drive away 😁 never fished them tarns before tho maybe a future fishing trip. Congratulations on the 10k aswell 🥳
Definitely worth giving it a go mate they're really fun places to fish. Can be really tough going though!
amazing vid , loved it.
Thanks mate!
Special vid, thanks!
Thanks for watching! Really tried to make this one a good one
Stunning views m8 and effort put in deserves a thumbs up 👍
Thanks Steve, really appreciate that!
Grats on 10k sub mates, very well earned and deserved! Your videos are incredible. Sod walking up there for the lake haha! I'd still be at the bottom of the hill haha!! Amazing effort!
Thanks mate, really appreciate that! Yeah was no walk in the park that's for sure

Amazing fishing George, surface lures are a great way to fish, let's see more videos!! Chub love them too😉
Thanks mate! I've been meaning to try that for quite a while actually, will have to give it a go!
Happy 10k dude! 🥳Looking forward to all the future content yet to come! Great video!
Thanks mate! Hoping that there's going to be a lot more of where that came from 👍
Good video sir you should make sure you have a clear bubble float in your kit and a few flys never go wrong with that

@@adventurefishinguk Surface wakes - flat calms, not great. With a ripple to medium waves you may find the flies are splashily grabbed almost on touchdown. Biggish (14?) zulus work well. Use a small transparent bubble float not quite full - you dont need to cast over the horizon. Twitch the gear back, *slowly*. Ripples/waves hide float-wakes well but these are never sophisticated fish in my experience. You may find small isolated lakelets like yours stuffed with wee troutlets if the breeding potential is high but the feeding poor, they reach a terminal size then grow no more because foraging drains all the nutrition they can harvest, arctic char in scottish lochs are often subject to this size limitation, topping out at less than half a pound. Acid water, limited grub. Result, stunted fish that can seem to be clones they're so similar. They're always lively wee things but often disappoint in the frying pan.
Lots of fun checking these places, enjoy!
@Adventure Fishing UK if your not keen on using a bubble float because of the wake , a great float to use is a Bombarder float which come in floating and intermediate. Hardly makes ripples and is deadly. Tight lines
Subbed. Thank you for great content.
Just came across your channel.
Thanks mate I really appreciate that! Glad you're enjoying the videos
👍🏻 I have often thought about hitting some small waters on the moors by me.I dry fly rivers with fly rod and tenkara Brooks and small rivers with dry fly.Hitting small moor lakes is a good idea
Definitely would be worth your time!
You should take out some of the small fish. Allowing the rest to grow bigger. Small ponds like that cant hold more then 10-20 decent+ sized trouts :)
Wouldn't want to mess with such a fragile ecosystem! I think it's better left natural personally. It's not all about size!
What a beautiful place, would love to go there one day. Great fishing 🎣 all the way from Australia
Tried the number but no luck
Thanks for watching mate amazing to hear you're all the way over there. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Which number did you try?
Just subscribed, watch it while having my breakfast. Have you been round any lochans in the Highlands of Scotland?
Thanks for subscribing mate, really appreciate that! And unfortunately i've not, would love to though
How do you find these amazing places 😮 breath taking! Loved the video mate 🫡
Lots of trial and lots of error! A lot of research and driving too 👍 Thanks for watching!
