Hollingworth Lake is a clear wild water, positioned high up on the edge of the beautiful West Pennine Moors. It offers unpredictable and challenging fishing for native UK fish such as Roach, Pike, Bream and Perch. The sport varies from year to year and week to week; I'll guarantee you fish but the quantity and quality will always remain a mystery! The most productive and enjoyable way to fish upon this deep lake is from a boat. Simply select the activity that interests you;

I simply adore fishing from compact fishing platforms whilst afloat. Previously enjoying five years kayak angling (2008 to 2013), culminating in becoming the UK's No 1 ranked kayak angler in the 2013 Kayak Wars competition. There is something about fishing unobtrusively and at one with your environment in a small boat. My boat is powered by an electric trolling motor, quiet and Eco friendly. Unfortunately this restricts the fishing grounds an angler can cover in one day, however the stealth like qualities are invaluable when wild, wary fish are your quarry.
The weather ultimately dictates how and when I can safely launch, therefore all dates stated within these 'Wild Water Boat Fishing' are subject to change within twenty four hours notice of the launch date.

There is no fixed itinerary, even the schedule is set by mother nature herself. This fishing package is based upon pure watercraft. It's almost impossible to have a prepared plan instead we have to sense the mood of the water, work with the weather conditions and target species appropriately. Fishing a wild water with natural fish stocks is an unpredictable sport, but one that offers a great sense of satisfaction when you get it right. I simple hate blanking (catching no fish), success hinges on good preparation in this fishing environment. Many fishing hours understanding and discovering techniques ensure that all of the possible fishing scenarios have been covered. This still does not guarantee fish and we need to work together as a team on our compact fishing platform, a ten foot wooden fishing boat.
