Your one stop information centre for fishing
in Cumbria and the Lake District

The Lake District is a magically beautiful region of high peaks, open fells, lakes and sparkling rivers that offers some tremendous fishing amidst scenery that is both spectacular and often surprisingly intimate.

But Cumbria is not just the Lake District. Away from the popular centre this large county has quieter, far less frequented areas with a unique quality all of their own. The Eden Valley, the West Cumbrian coast and the western parts of the Yorkshire Dales all fall within our boundaries. These areas are no less scenic and still hold many waters that remain relatively underfished.

Wherever you plan to fish we hope you find lakedistrictfishing.net the perfect starting point.
