carolclimb Angling

The Lake District and Southern Scotland have some of the finest fishing in the British Isles in spectacular scenery. From the Solway Firth to the high mountain tarns there are a wide range of fisheries. Some wild and remote, to managed (almost drive in) fisheries. Along with the wide range of game, coarse and sea fish there are rare species such as Arctic Char, Vendace and the secretive Schelly.

We have over 25 years of exploration and fishing in the North of England and Scotland. Richard worked as Fishery manager / Ghillie for Broomholm Estates on the Border Esk for a number of years. This must be one of the country's premier sea trout rivers, and still maintains good runs of sea trout and salmon.

Whether it's watching a float dip and slide away on a small water stuffed with small perch, roach and gudgeon ideal for youngsters, or the timeless art of fly fishing. We can help you make the most of your fishing in the area.

Cogra Moss is our local trout water set in a fold in the hills between Ennerdale and Loweswater. This beautiful little gem is ideal for both beginners and experts alike containing rainbow trout, brown trout and perch. It is stocked on a regular basis and makes an ideal venue for teaching. The surrounding area is full of interest deer, red squirrels, buzzards, stonechat's, greylag geese and many others and wild flowers orchids, sundews. For non fishers there are lots of beautiful walks with superb views across the Solway to southern Scotland, the Isle of Man and Ireland, also back across the Lake District high tops as far as Skiddaw and Hellvelyn. We have lots more of these gems up our sleeve.

We also use our other skills to get to inaccessible places climbing / abseiling into rock marks along the Solway coast, sea kayaking into remote beach's / hill lochs, stalking wild trout with a fly rod from a canadian canoe or bouncing a worm along the bottom of one of the 'lakes' for monster perch.

We also work with Eric Hope of 'Hemmingways' fishing guides www.Hemmingwaysfish.co.uk. Eric and I have know each other since we were small boy's in wellies wandering miles of byways in search of fish and fishing in the Ribble valley and surrounding areas.
