1. My name is George Lamb and I run Bong’s fishing – an
Instagram community/youtube channel. When it comes to
fishing everyone has their preferences regarding species
and methods and unlike most when I fish it’s not size I’m
after. In my opinion the epitome of fishing, and what it
means to me, is fishing the high mountain tarns of the Lake
district. I’m very fortunate to be a short drive away from
some of the most stunning scenery in the world and some
of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful places to catch fish
our country has to offer.
GUIDE TO LAKE
DISTRICT TARN
FISHING
F I S H B U D D Y D I R E C T O R Y
A “Tarn” is a mountain lake formed by glacial erosion tens
of thousands of years ago, and they’re often surrounded
by the dramatic cliffs that shape the well known
landscape of the English Lake District.
2. There are various schools of thought regarding how these resident
fish got up to these places in the first place. In some, the
possibility of simply swimming up streams is the likely candidate.
However, one such tarn where this cannot be that case is Blind
tarn, a pocket sized mountain Tarn with no obvious in or outflow
of water. Some say that descendants of the fish today were
trapped 10,000 years ago when the glaciers melted after the last
ice age.
Between 1123 and 1537, monks from
Furness Abbey populated many tarns
with fish as an additional source of
readily accessible food. In addition
to these it’s also a possibility that
eggs were transported up on birds
feet, or simply fish may have been
introduced for sport before official
records of such procedures began.
These mountain tarns are literally carved out of the mountainside,
and as a result often there isn’t much vegetation. Therefore, a
common theme is that the trout don’t grow particularly large. This
does have exceptions, for example the trout in the attached
picture was caught at a place called ‘Small Water’ as
occasionally conditions allow for fish to grow larger. For the most
part, the trout remain small due to the biological scarcity and
lack of available food.

3. As I’m still a beginner fly fishing, lures are still my preference.
Maggot feeders are also known to be highly productive, but deep
hooking is a risk that I don’t like to take too often but will
definitely experiment with more in the future.
However, the Angler who dares to carry their gear and
equipment up a mountain to catch small trout will be richly
rewarded with a days fishing venues never to be forgotten. What
the fish lack in size, they more than make up for in spectacular
colourations and hard fighting ability.

with how I’m getting on
exploring these hardly ever
fished scenic locations please

channel on youtube.
Many of these venues require a
hike to get to. Some as little as
15 minutes but some as many as
2 hours, and it’s safe to say
fishing these places is not for
the faint hearted.
