- Fishing this high altitude lake on the side of a mountain blew my mind! We catch some beautiful fish and see some incredible views, fishing doesn't get much better than this! It definitely wasn't easy getting up there, with my fitness anyway! I hope you enjoy the video especially considering how much effort it took me to get up there. I absolutely love trout fishing, and in this video we do some lure fishing for trout and fly fishing for trout. Wild brown trout fishing at it's finest!
As always, thank you very much for watching, I really appreciate it! If you enjoyed the video please don't forget to give it a like, and subscribe if you want to see more of the fishing videos I make! Hopefully I'll see you here for the next video!

Thank you very much for watching! The BRAND NEW Adventure Fishing online store is now live, I’d massively appreciate it if you could check it out! www.adventurefishinguk.com/
There are records of one Victorian landowner who stocked high altitude lochs and lochans on his estate in Scotland by having pony panniers (baskets which sit either side of the pony’s withers) lined with linen bags, which themselves were coated with pitch, then filled with stream water, and then the fingerling trout which had been bred in captivity were put into these ‘portable goldfish bags’ and transported to their end destinations by the pony and ghillie.
Great endeavour!
Thats a really cool fact thanks for sharing! I wonder if that kind of thing happened all over 🤔 Thanks for watching!
That’s wild brown trout
Years ago in the states people would load pack horses/mules with big milk cans filled with trout and stock lakes and streams high up in the wilderness .
I’m with you brother. The views were gorgeous. I fish in Utah and Colorado. If I did not catch a fish, the views, the sounds, the water and being in gods creation is sufficient and than some.
Thanks for watching mate! Awesome to hear you're over in America i'd love to fish there one day, especially in Colorado
Creds to the people who laid down that path long ago
I know, can't have been easy!
why can’t you use an ATV?
I don’t think it’s allowed where I live
Look at the little red spots on them they are beautiful! I wish people could understand that when they put chemicals in there lit “lawn” it kills these lil trout and they never come back again.
It’s genocide, extermination. Did you have to go so far out to catch anything that would normally be in a stream anywhere nearby is tragic to say the least also, that people can barely finance a cookie cutter home that is essentially a large cardboard box.
There are plenty of streams with fish in around me, i just love fishing in the mountains! Pollution is definitely a problem though, such a shame
A tarn is a small circular lake formed by a glacier
An old northern english word derived from old Norse ( Tjorn) meaning a small mountain lake with no tributaries.
Good knowledge! Another term for it is a Corrie lake, I remember that from GCSE geography 👍
Red Tarn has a tributary which flows down into Ulswater
It's a real-life video game secret fishing hole.
Haha I like that comparison, do you know any good fishing games?
I enjoy your videos enormously, especially ones such as this, where you share your experience of the incredible scenery you enjoy. You certainly fish in some beautiful locations.
I really appreciate that thank you! Yeah for me fishing is about the views as much as anything!
@@adventurefishinguk how did you know what sex the fish was my son wants to know thanks 😊
Beautiful location and fish mate. If you get chance, get yourself over to New Zealand. I never fished for trout back home, but when I moved here, there wasn't the traditional coarse fisheries I was used to, so I started trout fishing. It is pretty epic over here and I'm sure you'd love it. This video looks like it could be in NZ. Keep up the sweet as content 😊
Thanks for watching mate! I'd absolutely love to go trout fishing in NZ, I see some massive fish caught from incredible places on youtube
Chur brother.
Absolutely majestic and very beautiful sceneries. This kind of adventures I really like and your presentation is flawless my friend!
Thanks for watching mate, the scenery won't be quite as dramatic as the places you go though!
Let's go man. Geez your hikes are long but the views are beautiful
Thanks mate! Hope you enjoy the video 👍
Wow you went that amazing walk/hike to to fish for real wild brown trout. I'd like to know who else has done it? Im from Scotland, you should see how many of these small Loch's are. We need a helicopter company to sponsor you 😂
Haha yeah I wouldn’t say no to a helicopter ride up to one! I’ve seen Scotland looks absolutely full of mountain lochs, hopefully I get the chance to explore some of them!
That’s one beautiful place. That hike was long but worth it views and fish what more could you ask for 😊😊😊😊
Thanks for watching mate, amazing place wasn’t it! Effort definitely equals reward 👍
All the hard work followed by an orgasmic ending....discovering the water
Brilliant stuff.. Thoroughly enjoyed !
Thanks for watching mate!
"Cor' Blimey, what are ye doin in me pockets!"
😂 Thanks for watching!
Great video matey! - I'm not a fisherman, but really entertaining & you're a great character for presenting this kinda contect... Top Job! 🙏 Bobby 🐭
Thanks for watching mate I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@adventurefishinguk 🙏
@@UkuleleBobbyKemp there's no place for superstition here
@@matimus100 Don't get that at all chief... Care to elucidate?... 🤔
Beautiful scenery and beautiful fish...what more could one ask for?!
Thanks for watching mate!
Come to the White Mountains of New Hampshire, USA. You will be amazed.
I'd absolutely love to, a USA road trip is my dream!
Hi. YT just showed me this video in the feed. Love your positivity and enthusiasm. You have a new sub from Austria. PETRI 🎣
Thanks for subscribing I really appreciate that! Great to hear you’re watching from Austria 👍
讲话以外的所有声音都是燥音，即使声音小也是燥音，甚是聒噪，.除非做的是音乐节目.放音乐的时候就放音乐，画蛇添足的背景音乐..甚是聒噪.阿弥陀佛
Thanks for watching 👍
yo bud love this, and love the travel rod. what an amazing bit of kit. if you are ever up Dundee way, I know a mountain loch you would like to fish at, the brownies have a blue grey colour. just stunning.
Thanks for watching mate I'd love to make it up that way some time!
Where is this place?
There are many place like this in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Switzerland and so on.
This is in the UK, i'd love to explore some similar places abroad though
You should try fishing sprinkling tarn just south of seathwaite, near borrowdale.
Thats on my list for sure!
BTW It's a Tarn not a Lake or Pond. Well done for using the path, too many try and go straight up the stream, what appears to be a more direct route and can end up getting hurt, it's notorious.
Thanks for watching!
you hiked there because you did not want to pay some douchebag in a castle a daily fee to fish in "his river". By the way; all waterways should be public, Not sure why the brits don;'t get that.
Yeah there is that too!
Hey, amazing video man!! What was the song you used that starts at 6:46?? Sounds pretty cool.👍
Thanks mate! I'm not sure, it's from epidemic sound 👍
Step after step, someone carried those stepping stones to make your climb easier, you sure you want to complain? Next life you could be the ones carrying the stepping stones!
Very true! I'm grateful for the path up there
It's a good way to lose weight-just depend on your meals coming from what you catch; 2 minnows.
Haha don't worry I took my lunch with me! I wouldn't ever eat trout from here, not sustainable and they're probably below the legal limit
Cool adventure mate, fishing is a bonus 🎣
Very true, great fun being up in the mountains regardless of fishing or not!
Thank you! The fish are amazingly beautiful!
They certainly are, nothing beats a wild brown trout!
I’m going back to the 1960s in geography was this called a cookie lake?
It certainly was a Corrie lake yes!
Fishing takes us to incredible places! 🙌 Love the video brother! 🎣🙂✌
Yeah that's one of the reasons I love it so much, I appreciate the comment!
That's cool, but please don't skip a few seconds explaining the type of bait you use.
Sorry next time I’ll try give it a bit more attention!
Reminds me of Lough Talt in Ireland very beautiful
Thanks for watching!
Need to get a rucksack with a waist support dude, makes a huge difference when carrying higher weights.
My one has them actually, I just have a big tripod that needs constantly taking in and out of my bag so it’s easier to not use it! If there’s a long stretch where I don’t do any filming I’ll clip myself in though 👍
Looks like a moraine lake, impounded behind the leavings of a glacier.
I think it is, we call them corrie lakes 👍
Don’t set the hook so hard. You pull it loose. Just lift the rod tip, keep reeling.
Thanks for the advice i'll try to remember that for next time 👍
Brillant video George. Looks like the water was very clear all the hill (lochs in scotland 😂) have a peaty tinge near me so visibility isnt great. Montana nymphs seem to do well as they resemble a tadpole or larva. Shame you never got one on the fly joining the club with me in regards to catch on the fly atm 😂.
Thanks mate, yeah it’s incredibly clear. It’s great fun watching the fish chase, but annoying seeing all the ones that turn away! Yeah shame about the fly but next time hopefully!
Fantastic rod setup. Would make it easier to hike or kayak with this set up.
Yes, the lake is a glacial tarn, the remnant basin left behind when a glacier has retreated up the valley. The steep wall at the back of the tarn is called a bergschrund or backwall. It’s where the ice cuts almost vertically along with great height of the ice and snow. It’s not a moraine as someone else suggested which is somewhere down the valley - a heap of boulders that were carried down the valley and dumped there when the glacier melted. Fascinating stuff glaciers.
They definitely are fascinating, thanks for watching!
Must be in England becuase you said its a lake. There are no lakes in Scotland
👍
Feel free to call me ignorant but it feels weird for a Brit to do a video on fly fishing. I really had no idea.
A lot of people fly fish in Britain, I don't tend to to much of it at all though as you can probably tell!
Great vids. The discount code does'nt work!
Thanks a lot for watching! It has now been reduced to AFUK5 👍
In Norway the wildlife authorities monitor the ph level of the lakes, and when they need improving, they modify the ph by introducing carbonate rich rocks, to the great benefit of all the aquatic life; here in the U.K. there are a number of limestone rich lochs, which hold far better trout, due to the better feeding conditions afforded by the higher ph waters.
I had no idea they did that, but i can imagine it working. These high altitude lakes aren't very nutrient rich at all, so the fish never really get that big!
Great video mate and a lovely spot, one of my favourite in the lakes. Not sure if you know already but I'm fairly certain that that tarn is the only tarn with artic char living within it, they're left over from the last glacial maximum. Would've been great to see you catch one of them
I had no idea there was char in there, I'd love to catch one of those one day!
Tarn ...was biting my lip🙂
Loving the views keep up the good work like what you do.. barbless is good 😊
Thanks mate, beautiful place isn’t it! I appreciate the comment 👍
barbless isnt good for some species or styles of fishing the deep penertrate where as barbed hooks dont go as deep as the barb prevents this from happening
have the decency to call them loch or lochans, they aint lakes, great video otherwise.
Only in Scotland!
Bringing in the fly too fast, and reeling in with the rod down ur asking to lose the fish
Thanks for the advice 👍
Not enough leader. The line spooks trout
Yeah I thought that could be a problem!
why? so you don't have to pay some fat landowner. Why don't you abolish paying for rivers and make all fishy water public like the rest of the world.
Unfortunately we have a lot of people here that don't respect our waterways. It's a good idea, but would need a re-write of our freshwater fishing laws
So for a few bad apples you allowed the landed gentry to control your rightfully public waterways? That's horrible and unfair.@@adventurefishinguk
We call that a brown trout here in US. Work of art.
Yeah they're brown trout here too, they're native to the UK. It's a shame we don't have brook trout and cutthroat, those look amazing!
I’ve caught many brookies. They are in my opinion the prettiest trout I’ve caught especially during spawning. Just beautiful.
They don’t grow as fast as the other types. Mostly wild ones and are a great way to spend a day.
@@adventurefishinguk
@AdventureFishingUK how can there be fish in such isolated pond ?
There are a few theories, some say eggs on birds some think people hundreds of years ago
Newfoundland , canda has only ponds maybe one lake and there are fish in those ponds, totally isolated. A study would be useful as they would evolve differently between pond
@@adventurefishinguk
Howd you manage to birdsnest a spinning reel?
Line twists possibly!
People have bigger fish in their fish tanks
They certainly do
There's a lake here in British Columbia that I would like to fish.Isabel lake on top of a mountain at the end of Pitt lake.super hard to get to.I will get up there one day
That sounds like an amazing spot, if you go you’ll have to let me know if you catch anything
@@adventurefishinguk its loaded with trout.hard to say how big they are since very few people have make it up there
Try Panther Martin, Melos. Also try a small piece of cut shrimp. Sounds crazy, but Trout love Shrimp
I had no idea they liked shrimp! Heard great things about the panther martins though
Explain how fish get there in the first place!
I'm afraid I couldn't with any certainty!
They recently filmed a movie there didn't they?
I believe so yes
Who and when was the path up the mountain installed?
I'm assuming it was the national trust, no idea when though!
Would it help to put some weight on the front of your body?
Haha unfortunately there's already more weight than i'd like there to be on the front of my body
A photo of that lake shows up on my PC often when I boot up.
Haha it definitely is that sort of place!
Thanks for the video , what's the rrp on this road ?
Thanks for watching! The rod is £129.99 but that includes all the tips, the rod case, the spinning reel, the fly reel and a 2 year guarantee. You can get 10% off with code AFUK10 too which makes it even cheaper
Truly enjoyable video - and you’ve got a new subscriber!
Thanks for subscribing, really appreciate you coming along for the ride!
They look like brown trout to me marra
They are indeed 👍
A gps location could be fun to find on satellite. 😉
👍
The one good thing about a steady rise climbing to your beautiful pristine pond is that your hike back will mostly an easy downhill lope. 😊
Yeah very good point! Was a nice walk back, quite steep though
@@adventurefishinguk thanks for sharing. You have a very scenic country.
@@Waynegilchrist-r2h Thank you, i'm definitely lucky where I live!
Myself is no fisher man, but I could imagine a great hiking here for sure. Although I like to watch how others fishing. It's a beautiful place.
It’s great fun hiking yeah, especially when there is fishing involved!
Isn't a small loch called a lochin
Only in scotland!
Are those stalked browns or wild run?
Completely wild 👍
Next time take a gas burner & frying pan !
Catch and release for me, especially in a place like this!
I know this tarn. And I love it.
I enjoy your channel because I've actually fished some of your remote places! Good fun
Thanks for watching! Always nice to hear from someone likeminded who likes fishing some of the more adventurous places. If you have any suggestions of places to try I’m all ears!
Beautiful fish, scenery and great videography
Thanks mate, had great fun filming this one!
Nice vid. Fly fishing suggestions if i may.
1. Fish the fly first to avoid spooking too many fish
2. If you get a follow don't be afraid to pause for a good few seconds then start retrieve again. They often come back
3. Vary the retrieve speed including very small sharp snatches
4. If you're getting lots of follows but no takes rotate through flies quickly
5. Always try dry fly first to a rising fish. No need to retrieve if the cast is good
6. You need to be stealthier around bank than lure fishing. Dark clothes.
7. Polarised glasses
8. Flies with frills and legs always good when you can't tell what they're feeding on
9. Leader least as long as rod
Some great advice there, thanks a lot I’ll definitely bare it in mind! I’ve got a lot of learning to do 👍
Good advice - I quite often use daddy long legs or caddis - easy to see, nice big mouthful (that is not matching the hatch but is a temptation for the fish to grab a big mouthful) and on rivers if you can't mend your line well, both chub and trout are used to things like caddis skittering on the surface and, because of the size, fish don't just sip but do a decisive take.
@guyosborn615 nice one. Just been out on the river. Had 2 on a sedge and my mate had 3 on a daddy... You're not wrong
@@simon-ec5kv Lovely to hear I'm not always wrong!!!!!🤣
for trout , nothing works better than worms
Everything loves a worm doesn't it! I like staying active and lure fishing 👍
why are the hills so barren? where are the trees?
I’m not sure actually, maybe it’s too rocky up there
New subscribe here!!!
Love this channel after just watchimg the first vidio which randomly appeared in my feed. Looks like Blencathra Sharp Edge to me? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Love this.
Levi
Thanks for watching and thanks for subscribing I really appreciate that! Unfortunately I’m not able to give exact locations out on UA-cam, I hope you understand!
That looks like the lake from Far Cry 5
Funnily enough a few people have said that!
Proper real wild fishing. I was going to call it a tarn before you did in the video. Those olive green coloured trout are my favourite and have caught some like that in the Scottish highlands but never fished a tarn, though we have many.
Lovely place to fish isn't it, thanks for watching!
This is fantastic. I fancy a go at something like this for my channel, something different as my videos are becoming a little similar to one another now. Great work.
Thanks mate! Videos like this are great fun to film
Those are pretty big brook trout
They're actually wild brown trout we don't have brookies here!
It's like a Pokémon game lol
😂 I do love a pokemon game!
Corrie lake ( bloody predictive texting)
Haha yes it was! Although I prefer cookie lake
Cheers mate mmm
Superb video thank you 🎣👍🏼
Thanks for watching mate!
bro how are fish coming there
No one really knows, could have been eggs on birds feet or introduced by people years and years ago
There's cases in Wales where the monks put carp in ,i think as early as the 13th century ,and because of the location no one fishes it
Do you know any of these places?
It's called pant y llyn ,nearest town Builth Wells, 😉 ,its actually 1 miles from the nearest road and 1400 ft above sea level
Roath Park in Cardiff is worth a look too mate ,it's the daddy of park lakes and has a few 40s and many 30s in it ,aswell as pike
Wet the line mate b4 you start and During cuts dwn the birds nest mate lovely Tarn fishing 😊stunning Trout
Thanks for the advice mate!
i wonder if world is that much beautiful how heaven could be ?
God plz gimme chance to visit such places before i see your heaven .😢

what kinda trout are those?
Wild brown trout 👍 Native to the UK
Hello mate maybe we could do some fishing together and I’ll try to film for my channel together thanks and well done
Thanks for watching mate! Where are you from?
@@adventurefishinguk I’m from Romania but I live in Uk and I would love to fish together I’m still trying to grow but it’s very hard on the UA-cam
@@AlexZanderFishingUk Why are so many Romanians stealing fish from our lakes? is it a culture thing, do you take fish from rivers at home?
@@BAll-n7w nope I don’t take fish in our country on the lakes where you pay you are allowed usually to take some fish home
Looks like a lovely place. I like your rod setup, where can I get one?
I remember some years ago in New Zealand we were fishing in Diamond Lake at Paradise (yes, it really is called that) when a DOC ranger came along. He saw we weren't doing so well and suggested we cross the Dart River and try our luck at Lake Sylvan. He also told us there was no limit there and no minimum size, within reason. Apparently the lake was so over stocked (its a bit of a mission to get there) and the trout weren't getting to legal size so they wanted it to be knocked back a bit. It was brilliant, fly or lure we were getting a decent fish on almost every cast!
That sounds like an amazing place to fish, apparently the trout get huge in new zealand. You can find all the info about the rod in the pinned comment or in the description!
usually the smaller the pond the snaller the fish
Yeah I think you’re probably right!
@@adventurefishinguk supply competition gets severe.
When fly fishing, you need a longer leader and then tippet. And when you cast, never take your arm past 90 degrees above your head and wait for the weight of the line to begin to bend the rod before moving forward. If you do that, and it takes practice, you will catch those beautiful Brookies
Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it! They're actually wild brown trout, we don't get brookies over here
Just subbed! Enjoyed your hike into the small lake and your fishing success. I also liked your convertible fishing setup, spinning and fly. Great video!!!
Thanks a lot for subscribing I really appreciate that!
Nice vid, I've not read all the comments...
How do you know it's legal to fish? ie your not poaching?
Plenty of research is important mate! Thanks for watching 👍
Nice brownies - they are fun to catch. Was just up in the San Juan national forest in southern Colorado and at 10830 and was catching brookies on dry flies and it was 39F. It was great and got some pics of them.
They certainly are great fun to catch! I'm jealous of the trout varieties you have over there in the states, we only have one native wild kind and that's the browns
They will love a Gulp soft plastic minnow...with ⅛ jighead
Good shout I’ll try remember that for next time!

Eggs on birds feet maybe, or maybe introduced by people a long time ago 👍
