Blea Tarn

Location

Blea Tarn stands prominently between Thirlmere and Borrowdale, offering anglers an open expanse unlike many secluded Lakeland tarns. The tarn’s placement on a ridge means it's exposed to winds from all directions, giving it a distinctive character.

Fish

Blea Tarn is home to trout that are typically larger than those found in other nearby waters. Occasionally, anglers are treated to catching impressive specimens, adding an element of excitement to each fishing trip.

Conditions

Here’s the thing: reaching Blea Tarn isn't always straightforward. The surrounding ridge is notoriously boggy, and mist often makes navigation tricky. Make sure you're prepared for damp conditions and keep an eye out for those quick-moving trout.
