If you do a bit a digging around the club waters have some cracking fish in them 👍
I remember doing a bit of carping up there in the early
90's during a holiday they were only small then but real stunners

The most northerly I have fished for carp is Wyreside lakes, few years ago now, above that, not sure what's about?

I was on Windermere around a month ago talking to some guys who fish that, they were telling me it does 10lb bream regular, massive shoals of roach, waters alive, stem from livebaits from the pike anglers. There are some carp too. Last year I saw an eel of around 2lb off a jetty!

I was in Grasmere last Friday, Rydal water had around 10 people fishing it, first time I've seen anybody, told me it was full of roach and pike, the majority were after the pike, I asked about carp, not sure

Interesting though

From my knowledge about the place need a Cumbrian postcode to join. One of the reasons never pursued it cause of that

Not really didn't take me long to track her down
Looks like the club have invested in the lakes with fencing etc 👍
As said need to be local and they have closed membership and no more day tickets good luck to them
Bit too far for me anyway🤣
Are you sure?
