I'm planning a camping trip to Brothers Water this weekend, with my girlfriend.

Naturally I'll sneak my 5 weight into thecar while she isn't looking.

I believe there is free fishing here, for mixed coarse and Trout. Is it worth a few hours on the fly? Otherwise, are there any other free/ cheap fisheries near by?

Thanks

p.s. always happy to catch small wild Brownies...

Hi Richard, yes some free fishing, only on one bank as far as I am aware.
Plenty of small wld brownies in Brotherswater, but as has been mentioned the forecast isn't good, but more chance in there than any local rivers, they are all unfishable at the mo. Good luck.

It may have washed away by then Richard.

I never knew that Martin.
Hence the reason that one of 12lbs has been caught in Ullswater recently, no doubt.
It's just a mile down the Goldrill beck to the lake.
