FARLETON VIEW

Tickets: Available from the lodge.

Directions: From junction 36 of the M6 take A.65 heading for Kirkby Lonsdale. After 150 yards go round a roundabout and exit on 3rd road A6070 for Burton.

The fishery: is new and only opened in October 2002 and has fished extremely well during the winter months. It is about 5 acres with a small island at one side with some deeper water alongside.

Even before the water opened there were huge hatches of black buzzers, masses of olives and numerous corixa and snail to be seen so as the lake matures it has the potential of producing exceptional imitative fishing in the clear spring fed water.

Buzzers work very well on this water and as the season progresses olive imitations, hawthorns, hoppers, daddies, corixa, shrimp and damsel patterns will all work very well.

Consistent lures are black or black and green tadpoles, white tadpoles, orange fritz, cats whisker, dawsons olive, menace varient. Good general nymphs for here are ptn, grhe, daiwl bach, silver black ribbed and bloodworm.

Rod hire is available and flies can be purchased

There is an excellent lodge by the car park and snacks etc can be purchased and there is even a shower facility as well as toilets. Disabled access enables cars to be taken right down to the lake.
