Knotallow Tarn

Knottallow is a picturesque Lakeland Tarn situated on the fells 1 mile north of Ulverston stocked exclusively with Brown Trout up to 3 lbs. The tarn, which was manmade over 150 years ago covers approximately 6 acres and is split into two, about 80 metres from the dam by an old causeway; most likely being the original dam as the water was extended some time in the past. The causeway is partially submerged allowing fish access to both parts. Due to its age Knottallow Tarn has long since reverted to what could be described as a natural water and relies solely on natural springs, rainfall and some land drainage for the inflow of water. The Tarn is not very deep - average depth being just under 2 metres, and can be fished with a floating line throughout the season. The fishery has an abundance of natural fly life and will appeal to anglers who adopt an imitative approach. Fishing is by conventional fly fishing methods only
