About High Arnside Tarn

High Arnside Tarn in Cumbria is a small but beautiful lake. It is about a one and a half acre in size and can be reached by a footpath off the Skelwith Bridge to Coniston Road.

The tarn used to be stocked with fish by WADAA, but now it is home to small wild brown trout, with the occasional larger fish. The lake is covered in weeds, so only a floating line can be used for fishing.

Despite the weeds, the fish in High Arnside Tarn are eager to bite and are lively. It is a great spot to spend an hour or two fishing with light tackle, or to relax in the peaceful surroundings on a warm summer evening.
