Description: Grasmere is situated on the eastern side of the A591 Ambleside to Keswick road just before Grasmere village. This small lake is one of the region's best natural coarse fisheries holding prolific shoals of roach, quality perch, and big pike. Genuine thirty pounds plus pike have been caught in the past and twenty pound fish are caught every year, along with good numbers of doubles.
Grasmere is surprisingly underfished for other species. The roach have a high average size and 2lb fish are not uncommon. Similarly, 3lb perch are by no means unusual.
Access is good along the roadside bank, and on the far shore from the outflow to the end of the footpath. The shoreline from here right around the top of the lake and back to the Daffodil Hotel is private.

Fishery Rules:
Permit holders agree to read and comply with the fishery rules as printed below and/or displayed on the fishery notice boards and to comply with the Environment Agency Fishery Bylaws. Failure to do so renders the permit invalid. You must carry this permit with you while fishing.
|
Facilities:
The biggest problem with Grasmere is the lack of free
parking, although this tends to protect the fishery from overuse. There are two lay-bys on the main road taking three vehicles each. Once those are full you will have to find either, parking in Grasmere Village or the car park at White Moss, near Rydal Water - both options will cost you and you with a long walk with piking gear.
