Grasmere offers anglers a serene fishing experience amidst the stunning landscapes of Cumbria. The expansive Thirlmere lake, positioned alongside the A591 between Grasmere and Keswick, is home to a variety of fish including perch, pike, and trout reaching up to 10 lb.
Trout fishing is particularly rewarding here, with specimens averaging around half a pound and some impressive brutes exceeding ten pounds. Whether you prefer fly fishing from the shore near feeder streams or traditional boat fishing on overcast days, Grasmere caters to different styles. Popular lures like Black Pennell and Kate McClaren often prove effective, especially during a good hatch.
Access to the fishery is convenient, thanks to numerous car parks on the western shore. Disabled access and facilities ensure everyone can enjoy the experience. For those looking to extend their stay, camping is available at Bridge End Farm. Boat hire is offered, though engine use is restricted to registered WADAA members with electric outboards. Club memberships and day ticket access are available, allowing both members and visitors to partake in the tranquil fishing environment while respecting the conservation areas in place.
