Yeadon Tarn

Access and Facilities

Yeadon Tarn offers straightforward access to all fishing pegs, thanks to a tarmacadam path that encircles the 19.1-acre lake. The venue is shared with the local boating club, which means weekends and early Tuesday or Wednesday evenings can be quite bustling with sailboats. Additionally, there is a pathway that attracts walkers, especially during school holidays when the tarn becomes a popular spot for families. For those requiring assistance, disabled access and facilities are available to ensure everyone can enjoy their fishing experience. Boat fishing and hire services are also offered, providing anglers with more options on the water.

Fish Species

The lake is well-stocked with a healthy population of carp, with some specimens reaching up to 20lb. Alongside carp, anglers can also target roach and perch, with perch weighing up to 2lb+. The presence of these species makes Yeadon Tarn a versatile fishing location suitable for different angling preferences. While carp are the main attraction, the variety of fish ensures a rewarding experience for those looking to catch different types.

Fishing Tips

Yeadon Tarn is relatively shallow, and fishing tends to be more productive during warmer weather when the water conditions improve. The primary strategy for anglers here is to concentrate on catching fish near the bottom. With the lake's easy accessibility and low day ticket prices, it’s a great spot for both regular visits and spontaneous fishing trips. However, it's worth noting that the shared nature of the venue can make the water crowded, so planning your visit during quieter times can enhance your fishing experience.
