Swap: Lake District Fishing for…

[Dave Lakes]

I have a number of guest days in my fly fishing syndicate.

Wondering if anyone wants to swap. I’m not sure what for, open to any ideas; shooting, stalking, fishing, just want to make sure the days get used. Could swap multiple fishing days for something or vice-versa.
With the crazy price of fuel it would be preferable if the swap was within a few hours, but open to any ideas.

The area-
North West Lake District
A number of river beats with salmon, grayling, sea trout, brown trout. Usual caveats apply with the fact that wild fish numbers are all over the place these days, but some of the beats are stunning and a lovely place to spend the afternoon and wet a fly.

There is also a medium sized lake which is stocked with trout. Lovely scenery.

I’m sure you’re all now queuing up to offer gold medal reds in the rut, I’ll try to get to all of you!

Cheers.

Hi Leupsak (and for everyone else’s info). As you mentioned grayling specifically, I checked with the secretary and there have been no grayling returns on our beats the last few years, so I wouldn’t want to mislead you here. Of course welcome to come and try, but if it’s grayling specifically you’re after, I’d feel like I was ripping you off. I have a mate who I think has grayling on his syndicate nearby but a different river, do you want me to check?

They’re building a premier inn in Keswick, so not a problem for top class accommodation!

After a few messages, I should have included that I have FAC/SGC, insurance, and dsc1. Wasn’t expecting anyone to guide me for free for the day!

Cheers Dave, thanks for your honesty.
I have another couple of leads but thanks for the offer.

Not too far from you is the Derbyshire Dove - plenty of Grayling in there, same for the Derwent. If you really want Grayling then I’d suggest going and fishing the Welsh Dee - full of them.
