- Fishing an incredibly scenic high altitude lake - what happened amazed me! These untouched, wild and remote places are an absolute joy to fish, you really never know what you might catch. The going can be very tough, as it was here, but the reward can be massive if you stick to it! What you don't see on these videos is the hours of casting without any action whatsoever, so it definitely wasn't easy! I love trout fishing and perch fishing in general, but there's something extra special about lure fishing a place like this!

Stunning colours to those perch, amazing scenery, great weather and brilliant drone footage.👏👏.
That all makes for a 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟+ video.
Thank you so much for sharing, take care and stay safe.😷
Thanks a lot Ian, really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed this one, wasn’t an easy walk ⛰️
Beautiful views of the countryside. What a spot that lake is.
Thanks mate, beautiful isn't it!
Thank you for taking us along! Stunningly beautiful brother and your absolute appreciation for all of it is priceless.
Praise God for men like you.

Thanks for watching mate, I really appreciate it!
Single hook and barbless....... subscribed !!
Thanks for subscribing mate I appreciate it!
Love your enthusiasm, love of wild places and admiration of these beautiful fish. You remind me of how besotted I was as a kid with fishing. I used to get up at 2.30 am after not sleeping from excitement, then cycling 6 miles to tench-fish a lovely, idyllic lake. I tipped my catch back in as older anglers were arriving. (My first fish was a perch though). Other nights I couldn't sleep until the red porcupine quill burned onto my retina went under and I nearly jumped out of bed - you rekindled that feeling, thanks so much. regards, Mike (subscribed).
Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it! Its great to hear you enjoyed the video and thank you for subscrbing
Love your channel! Keep more videos rolling.
Thanks mate I appreciate that, plenty more exciting plans!
Whoever left the rubbish can’t have a soul / brain , what a stunning spot , I’m jealous I’m not there myself. Nice vid .
I know, I can’t believe people leave rubbish around full stop, let alone a place like that. Thanks for watching!
What beautifully marked perch. They are one of my favourite fish. The fins on the last one were so bright just stunning.
One of my favourites too, I really hope a get a big one this year 👍
Lovely stuff! Looking forward to also getting up to some mountain tarns and becks in search of mythical beasts in this amazing weather we are having!
Thanks John! Glad you enjoyed it, you’ll have to let me know how you get on
Fantastic photography and fishing location. Really enjoyed this video. One of your best.
Thanks mate, I really appreciate that! Thoroughly enjoyed filming this one
The sheer beauty of that location is amazing.
Stunning isn't it!
Nice one George beautiful scenery and just a brisk walk lol 😂 😊
Thanks mate! Yeah scenery doesn’t get much better than that 👍
Great video,one tip if you wore your rucksack properly(high up on your back) it wouldn't be so draining on you. Keep the videos coming
Thanks mate! Good suggestion, I’ll try and shorten those straps next time 👍 might save me a bit of back pain
Great tip. Do the waist/chest straps up too. Their supposed to take the weight and the shoulder straps just do the stabilising
@@bjordan95 much appreciated! I’ve got a lot to learn 👍
Even better tip.... Bring a buddy n get them to do the carrying!!
Always enjoy catching Perch, no matter the size they're just stunning to look at. Really nice video :)
Yeah I couldn’t agree more! Especially these perch they were so uniquely marked/coloured. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely fantastic effort we’ll done mate .
Thanks mate!
Great video George,that was a climb mate 🦈🦈
Thanks mate! Yeah not the easiest of places to fish that’s for sure!
Back in 1990 I was part of a BTCV team that built that path up there! 😊
Wow, small world! Thanks for watching
beautiful terrain out there! I would actually love to see you feeder fishing in a place like that, just to see what other species swim around and how they look 👌
Stunning isn’t it! I may well give it a try actually, that could be good fun. Thanks for the suggestion!
Great video and scenery. I've fished all over the world and caught just about everything that swims, but perch fishing has and always will be special for me.
Thanks for watching! Yeah there’s definitely something special about perch 👍 couldn’t agree more
@@adventurefishinguk I think it stems back to childhood, Perch were plentiful where I grew up, and always had a fascination for them.
London Ontario Canada first time I seen your video, looking forward to seeing more. Be safe out there.
Thanks for watching mate!
Fair play to you walking up there to fish mate well done cracking video cheers
Thanks mate! Yeah not the easiest place to fish that’s for sure. Effort definitely equals reward
Cracking edit on this one chief. You get to some good spots mate
Thanks mate I appreciate that!
We hiked the same route you did back in 2017. Bloody hard work isn’t it! I never knew there was fish in there
Lovely walk isn’t it! Yeah there’s fish in most lakes like that 👍
That steeper route is killer. Especially when the grass is wet! Great angle that you filmed that with...😊
Thanks mate! Yeah it’s a real push getting up there, probably be taking the more gentle route next time!
@@adventurefishinguk I know what you mean about blanks at the 'other water' but I fished it again (not giving up) about 2 weeks ago I was pulling them out. If you can find them they are very eager, even caught 2 on a jig bait. Roads now closed as of today for a month remember! Long way round still worth it :)
@@PeakTorque yeah I’ve heard it can be great on the right day, was it overcast when you went? And which road is that?
@@adventurefishinguk similar conditions to yours. Hot and full sun. They were really shallow. Kirkstone pass closed 5th june for 4 weeks. Not a problem if you're coming from the northern end tho
Lovely sceneic place that mate, well worth the trip!😆💪
Thanks mate, a tough hike but definitely worth it!
Hey mate, lovely to see you Saturday, I've just subbed 👍
Good to meet you mate! Will have to get something planned later in the year
Your a very lucky lad George, you saw the geese and you saw the newt but luckily you just missed the black Bear 🐻 that ate the rabbit 🐾🤣🤣
Haha yeah I’m glad I missed the black bear 😂
You are right, the hike made the subscription worth while ;)
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful locations! Would definitely be going for a swim after the hike!... Subbed.
Thanks mate, it's definitely tempting!
That's a beautiful spot, and those perch were healthy and surprisingly big for a mountain corrie lake. I used to pore over maps for isolated mountain lakes here in Ireland, and visiting them was almost magical. Excellent video, and don't forget to stretch those calves. Doing that regularly will turn them into boulders.
Couldn’t agree more! To people who don’t know much about Corrie lakes I can see how a fish like that might not look like anything special. So it’s great to hear you agree with me on that front! Thanks for watching 👍
@@adventurefishinguk Oh I definitely agree. I've fished a lot of corrie lakes and they're notoriously low nutrient waters with usually undersized fish. There are some really good ones with decent microflora. Looks like that's one of the good ones.
Lake or to be more precise is it a Lakeland tarn. I’ve thought about taking a rod and reel when fell walking.
European perch are a pest species in Australia but people love to catch them , they're called red fin here and they are really good eating
Catching them is great fun, we don’t eat them over here though!
With all the effort you put in to get to the lake George the Perch were well deserved , beautiful marked and coloured fish. Top Bombing 👍
Thanks mate, yeah it wasn’t an easy walk up! Effort definitely equals reward in this case I think 👍
@@adventurefishinguk yeah the bass fishing tends to get better the warmer it gets it was pretty breezy today. And we was chasing the tide out. Still it was nice to be out relaxing and i got to spent some time with my father. So not all bad.
What is “Top bombing” ?
Beautiful coloring on those perch .
@@adventurefishinguk Well i was right as the warmer weathers come in the bass are biting. Had a great evening yesturday. Plenty of Mackerel aswell atm.
@@RWildekrav66 lol its a term from the 90's meaning well done excellent work - it comes from a comedian called Peter Kay and an advert he did that went viral before viral was a thing.
What a day. It is exactly the joy I get from finding cutthroat trout in Alberta mountain lakes.
Thanks mate! I'd love to catch a cutthroat one day, it's my dream to fish across america in an RV
Some excellent fish there
Thanks mate!
Beautiful perch. I would want to eat that bigger one. Perch is so good!! Thank you for the video!!!!
Catch and release for all perch in my opinion!
The biggest yellow perch I ever caught was 13 1/2 inches long here in southern Nova Scotia. That lake is absolutely stunning.
Thanks mate! I'd love to try fishing over there
Endeavour brings results . Well done !!! atb
Thanks mate! Yeah effort definitely equals reward!
Stunning scenery and perch, love it 🤘
Thanks for watching!
Good stuff
Thanks mate!
Fished alot of these tarns when i was a kid growing up in the lake District.. if I'm not mistaken this very tarn is the one where i witnessed another angler pull out a 4 pound perch.. they go crazy for livebaits up there
It wouldn’t surprise me, it’s a real hidden gem of a spot!
I was fishing love ba on Friday stunning place beside glen coe and unfortunately I blanked all day it’s tough one to take but like you says happens to us all😅😅🎣🎣
It absolutely is! It’s what makes catching so special
Nice place to fish
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁✌️🤞
Doesn’t get much better than that!
What a fantastic lake. Stunning perch. must be a healthy population of minnows to sustain them
Thank you! I didn’t see many actually, lots of fly life though
Keep hiking keeps you healthy
Absolutely!
Great channel. Thank you for posting this.
Strangely, I had the farm about a mile to the North East of this place for 15 years . I always intended to grab a rod and try my luck up there but never got round to it. Always too much to do on the Farm.
At least you answered my question about whether there were any fish in there.
You probably parked outside of my old place as it is at the very end of the public road and the closest spot for access.
Keep up the great work. I enjoy watching your videos.🙂
Small world! I'm glad I was able to answer your questions and thanks for watching!
Brilliant mate well done. Any update on the charr fishing?? I bought the rapala trout pack and theyre top class, had 8 rainbows 2 nights ago, heading out this evening try for a few more
Thanks mate! I really want to try it out, desperate for it actually! Not got any plans set in stone though 👍 yeah they’re great lures I’ve used them quite a bit
Great lake. Think I've visited a similar one up in the lakes. I took the errm short way up like you and had to lie down while I threw up my brekkie😮
Also delighted to see you going down the single hook no barb approach . Cal
Thanks for watching mate! Managed to keep my breakfast down, but only just 😂
That big cliff edge is probably the only place they can get some natural shade so probably a good place to fish
Yeah good shout, definitely in the evening when the sun is setting 👍
Love the vid
Thank you!
No problem
That looks amazing I want to go.there
Fantastic
Thanks mate, it’s an amazing place
you are right brother. you deserve the subscribe for hiking that much :)
Thanks mate, I appreciate that!
Cool vid mate
Thanks mate!
Really nice place u got there
Thanks mate, amazing isn’t it!
@@adventurefishinguk ye, i didnt know England had places like that except Scottland. im a swed so i love nature and fishing and that looks alot like the north part of Sweden
@@LAXEN9003 great to hear you’re watching from Sweden! I hope to visit the north over the next couple of years
Excellent mate,well worth the hike up there 🎣 drone footage was superb,can I ask which drone you use? 👍🏻
Thanks mate! It’s the DJI mini 3 pro 👍
5 secs in i liked already for the scenery
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful
Stunning isn't it!
Just for that effort i will subcribe chap
Thanks mate I appreciate that, hope you enjoyed the video!
Great video and stunning lake but just so you know that little lizard was a big newt 🤣👍🏻
Thanks for the ID! I definitely need to work on my amphibian knowledge 👍
@@adventurefishinguk easy mistake to make. 😁
Stunning. I would be arriving there and realise that I had left my reel back in the car 🤣
Haha that’s happened to me a few times, not quite on this scale though! Had to make a few drives home
@@adventurefishinguk Sadly, yes, I too have been half way to a fishing spot and realised I had left bait in the freezer and driven home again! Getting old is my excuse! Whats yours? 🙂
@@akwamarsunzal toddler induced fatigue and memory loss!
Hi mate just read your comments on getting up wrynose pass, the mountain bike has a massive amount of torque so it was the bike not me. With the amount of torque it has it makes any hill easy 😮
Must be great fun!
stunning spot mate , rate the drone footage too, would love to learn how to use one of those things
Thanks mate I appreciate it! Yeah flying a drone is great fun 👍
Not only the highest elevation , but possibly the best tasting fish in the world .
We don't tend to eat them over here in the UK!
Did a few hours lure fishing for Bass this afternoon. Didn't get a single bite. So no fish for tea today.
Unlucky for you, lucky for the bass! I’m sure you’ll get one next time
Good evening buddy. Hope all is good with you and the family and hope the little one is doing alright ……. Just managing a catch up watching some videos as I’ve been really busy lately and had a lot going on so finally had a bit of time to myself to have a catch up. Anyway just want to say that’s a lovely spot and I know where that is and it’s one of the spots I want to try and get to. I’m not the best of hikers in fact not at all but just as an estimate how long would it take for me to walk up there George ?? it’s been on my bucket list for awhile but so has everything else 🤣🤣🤣 scenery is breathtaking and catching them Amazing stripeys especially in bright sunshine is awesome. Anyway, hope you manage to get down safely and all the best to you and the famalam buddy 👍😁🥰🎣
Thanks John, alls well! It’s a beautiful place, well worth the hike up there. As far as hikes go this one isn’t massive, I reckon if you took the more gentle route up you could be there in two hours without pushing yourself. The way back down probably an hour and a half 👍
Hi John! I've missed your comments 😂👏🏻
@@alison8526 thankyou Alison and I’ve missed them too 🤣🤣🤣…. Life just gets in the way sometimes so then when I finally find the pause button I can have a bit of me time …. Much appreciated to you and hope all is good with you. 👍😁
@@adventurefishinguk cheers buddy … I mentioned to it to my daughter as she said said she would go with me once I get chance. Sounds like a plan to me ….. thank you, George … ya a good egg my lad 👍😁🎣😏
@@johnloxley8705 let me know if you need any advice on parking and walking route 👍 you can get me on email on georgelamb5fishing@hotmail.com
No fish fry what a guy!
👍
What a beautiful place. I know the reason but arent those mountain lake perch small compared to lowland ones. On my local (Cambridgeshire fenland) waters they'd be classified as nuisance fish! A great video.
I long for the day when I find a water where that size fish is considered a nuisance!
@@adventurefishinguk locally there are relatively few of them but they're much bigger than the ones from that lake. The club record perch is well over 4lbs. Not caught by me, my PB is 2lb14oz. I really appreciate you replying.
@@tonycamplin8607 I appreciate you watching!
Nice
Thanks mate!
I enjoy all your videos, I wouldn't mind hitting the bank with you sometime.. stay safe buddy
Thanks mate, really happy to hear you’re enjoying them! I might be running a competition this winter so keep an eye out 👍 bit of a pike event for charity
What a spot to fish. And the colours on those perch. Must be what heaven is like, eh?
Absolutely, it doesn’t get much better than this in my opinion!
@@adventurefishinguk It's why I fish. Catching the odd fish is nice but all the rest is why it's worth doing. Nice channel btw, thanks for taking the time to post.
@@davidpaylor5666 thanks for taking the time to watch!
@@davidpaylor5666 What a lovely comment 😊
Thanks
Thank you very much for that! Really appreciate it, you’re the first person to ever donate to the channel 👍
Wow what region is this? Its beautiful.
The North west 👍
What line and leader was you using on this video as you never ever say? Just curious...what a place to fish ‼️💯👍
I think it was about 10lb braid and 8lb fluoro leader mate!
I have always wanted to fish in England.
Some lovely places in the UK!
just subscribed 🙂
Thank you, really appreciate it!
Apologies if it’s a stupid question, I’m always hiking in areas like this, do you need any kind of permit to fish in these kinds of lakes?
Depends on the lake, sometimes they’re club owned sometimes not! EA license will cover it in a lot of cases 👍
Rabbits foot'Good luck in some sort of cultures ' How about your own! its a very English/ British superstition great vlog 😉👍
Well I never! For some reason my mind went straight to chinese 😂 Thanks for clearing it up!
Still recommend the river Erne
I definitely intend on making it over there at some point!
this exactly what my friends and I used to do on weekends, hike for miles into the scottish hills to fish a loch which haden't been touched for years, just pitch a tent for the weekend and the rest of the world could do one absolute bliss and if you can carry it in you can carry it back out, leave nothing
Sounds like great fun! Did you ever do any fishing?
@@adventurefishinguk fly fishing for wild brownies or on the coast spinning for pollock
Lovely vid gotta love Lake District perch I was catching them the other day of my kayak saw some huge 2lb+ follow my lure but didn’t take it. Give me a shout if you up for a session for anything anywhere 🤣🎣.
That sounds like a massive fish! You’ll have to get back out after it 👍 let me know if you catch it!
@@adventurefishinguk oh mean I saw several big perch when I went not just one this lake is full of them 🎣
@@adventurefishinguk oh mean I saw several big perch when I went not just one this lake is full of them 🎣
great video, hard luck on not netting a trout but what a cracking perch in a beautiful spot
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I’ll definitely be back soon for another go at those trout 👍
The last 2 perch are a good eating size.
Catch and release for me!
Wouldn't like to be a minnow in that lake 😮
Absolutely not!
A live rabbit is an omen of good luck. A chewed on rabbits foot is the exact opposite ... for the rabbit.
Haha good point!
nice aquatic lizard
😂 I've got a lot to learn
Nicer seneery too
Lovely place isn’t it!
I can't believe how clear the water is, there must be 5 or 6 feet of visibility.
Yeah it’s really clear up there!
Can you say where it is? I’m not a fisherman but would love to visit
Sorry unfortunately I’m unable to name locations on here!
How do you find all these places
A lot of research online, a lot of driving and a lot of trial and error!
Try Flyfishihng! I used to get skunked all the time while bait fishing so I tried Flyfishing! Now, I catch more fish than ever!
Yeah it’s definitely something I hope to do more of!
Oh i wonder if theres any carp 😮😮 do you know George?
I highly doubt it but anything is possible!
Just a question that seems like there should be an answer. Where did these fish come from in the first place? Are there interconnected bodies of water in that area? The countryside is absolutely stunning.
Water birds can transport eggs on there bodies.
Herons transport fry.
Lakeland Tarns (which this is) can be great fishing spots. Why the secrecy re the location when there are lots of websites recommending posts such as this?
Fish populate ponds by virtue of hitchhiking on water birds legs and feathers when they are still eggs.
A few different theories, could have been eggs on birds feet or possibly introduced by people years ago
Mate!, I was born in England and moved to Canada at age 16. Here we fish Perch to eat (fantastic), but they ALL have 5- 7stripes. 😁😇👍
Where abouts in canada? I've got family over in BC, I hope to make it over there to see them one day
@@adventurefishinguk Long way from B.C. Lancaster, Ontario😀

Fantastic video... Where is this lake?
Thank you! Sorry i'm unable to give out locations on youtube
@@adventurefishinguk Is that a YT rule?
@@paulpaula2011 it’s in the interests of protecting the location 👍 an unwritten rule amongst fishing channels with a big audience
How do fish get in to lakes like that?
There are various theories. Some say eggs on birds feet, introduced by people, climbed the rivers etc!
The walk there is easy, it's the walk back that's brutal.
yeah you're not wrong, can be really tough on the knees can't it!
Bought rigged and ready spinners and they rust after use, I've had vibrax for years and no rust
Sorry to hear you’ve had issues, I’ve used them plenty and have never had them go rusty on me. If you send some pictures and details to Rigged and ready customer service I guarantee you they’ll sort it out!
Where’s this wales ?
Sorry mate unfortunately I can’t give out locations on CZcams!
It’s not a lizard, it’s aquatic, so a newt. Hard to see in the short clip, but taking into account location and altitude, would suggest a female palmate newt. Excellent spot
Great knowledge! I found there were quite a few all around one small area. I’ve definitely got a lot to learn about reptiles and amphibians!
Salamander
@@RWildekrav66 not in the UK, especially this far north
Whenever I want to see someone catch tiny fish I know I can count on Adventure Fishing UK. PS, why do you use a net to land tiny fish?
Because he's using barbless hooks...
Sometimes netting fish is easier especially with barbless hooks
Salamander!
I definitely need to read up on my reptiles and amphibians!
Its a newt a smooth newt I think!
