Fishing on Haweswater is from the bank only, so it usually involves a bit of trekking. It's normally a case of 'cast and move'. These wild trout won't normally come to you, so you have to go to them, so we often don a rucksack full of gear and refreshments, then wander the banks in search of fish.
If you enjoy fishing in solitude and wild surroundings, Haweswater certainly fits the bill. Much like all of our wild northern waters: conditions can be critical, but if you hit it right you will have an enjoyable day in search of the reservoir's feisty wild brownies.
The Haweswater valley is the only place in England where Golden Eagles nest and if you are lucky you may get a sighting.
