I’ve been meaning to fish a certain Cumbrian Tarn all summer, but for one reason or another have never made it. So I decided it was do or die time, and that I would make the trip up there today no matter what the weather forecast predicted.
Using a small swimfeeder filled with maggots, a size 16 hook and an 18 inch tail I had a bite every cast. Sometimes from a little 4 inch trout such as this one.
And sometimes from its bigger 12 inch cousin like this one.

Your latest trip looks like it will take some surpassing,if I'm not mistaken that looks suspiciously like ******** and ******* in the background on the route up to ********. Am I correct?
Hat's off to you for lugging your gear up a trek/altitude like this (a feat in itself for those not familiar with the terrain), and to cap it off pulling out such a rare ***** specimen the likes of which most normal fishermen will ever see."
Thanks for your comments, you've guessed the location – but I dont think it should be made public knowledge so I've done a little editing. Sorry.
