Lake
Species
Brown trout and Perch
Low alkalinity
High alkalinity indicates water fertility and can signal the presence of larger trout. Fish in alkaline waters have a wider variety of invertebrates to feed on.
Shallow
The depth of a lake has significant impacts on its ecology. Reduced heat and light in deep lakes inhibit algal growth.
Moderate shoreline complexity
A lake with a high shoreline complexity will have numerous bays, points and peninsulas.
Mid elevation
Lakes at a higher altitude can take longer to warm up during the season and may not fish well until summer.
Very small
Larger lakes with good spawning often contain lots of smaller trout. Smaller lakes with limited spawning can produce larger trout.
Resting between Angletarn Pikes and Brock Crags, Angle tarn has significant character for a small water.
Two islands, a broken peninsula and a number of rock bays give this water its appeal.
You'll find good sized hard, fighting brown trout and a few exceptional ones in the mix. There are decent perch here too.
Dries or traditional wets work well. There are stories of evening rises and big trout engulfing sedges around the islands.
