*************
High up in the Yorkshire Dales lies a tarn that is described by many anglers as “the forgotten tarn”. In fact, where many commercial fisheries attract 100 anglers in a month or less, Malham Tarn sometimes doesn’t make that figure in a year.
Why? Because not many people know it is there. This is a pity, because it is an extremely beautiful and unique spot.
Malham Tarn is one of only two upland “natural” lakes in the Yorkshire Dales, and is one of the eight upland alkaline lakes in Europe. It was brought to the surface by the North Craven Fault. The tarn lies on a floor of 400 million years old impervious silurian slate covered with thick glacial drift and marl deposits. It has a surface area of around 150 acres with an average depth of only 2.4 metres and the maximum depth is around 4.4 metres.
The banks are part of a nature reserve; therefore the lake can only be fished from boats and there are only four of these available. The setting of this lake is nothing short of spectacular and if you are looking for a peaceful day with amazing scenery then this is hard to beat. The only drawback is that the lake is high up at 398 metres and very exposed so if you do decide to fish there take extra clothing just in case!
Malham Tarn Fly fishing is boat only - no bank fishing. Electric motors are allowed but not petrol driven.

The
Sedge (Caddis) Survey of Malham Tarn
The Caddis flies are the great feature of Malham Tarn and the lakeside stones abound with the larvae. 71 species of the 190 species found in Britain have been recorded in the tarn area, the Great Red Sedge (Phryganeida) and the Cinnamon Sedge (Limnephilidae) being most numerous.
In 1950, Agrypnetes crassicornis of the Great Red Sedge family, was found and determined by a Mr D E Kimmins as a species new to Britain and it is still known in this country to be only from Malham Tarn, elsewhere it is recorded from Finland, Caucasus and North West Mongolia. The larvae found in the Chara beds of the tarn, make their cases from pieces of leaf or chara. The adults, fairly numerous in some years, skate on the surface of the water at night in late June or July and appear to be incapable of flightSelection of common caddis/sedge from Malham Tarn

The Eilean Bàn Trust
& Bright Water Visitor Centre
As Area Co-ordinators for the International Otter Survival Fund we can keep you informed, through these pages, of the on-going work which is being done to conserve these beautiful creatures and, as a consequence, to clean up our rivers. Recently the re-introduction of otters to our inland rivers has caused some controversy in the fly fishing world as they do feed on what we are trying to catch! We feel that our native otters, which were hunted almost to extinction years ago, are more than entitled to feed and live as they did before and take delight in seeing their reappearance. We have only seen them on the West Coast of Scotland or in sanctuaries - it is our dream to see a wild otter in its natural environment once more.
The Eilean Bàn Trust & Bright Water Visitor Centre
|
Situated between Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye and Kyle of Lochalsh on mainland Scotland, Eilean Bàn ('White Island') is a six-acre nature haven nestling below the Skye road bridge that spans the island. Originally home just to the lighthouse keepers and their families, it later became the residence of the author and naturalist, Gavin Maxwell. Although internationally known for its association with Maxwell and with otters, Eilean Bàn supports a wealth of wildlife and natural heritage of both local and national importance. Nature trails (suitable for wheelchair users) wind around the island leading to different points of interest, including the award winning wildlife hide, a viewing platform and a sensory garden. Guided visits to the island, including the Maxwell museum (a reconstruction of his 40ft living room with original artifacts, recreated by Virginia McKenna) and Teko the otter's memorial stone, are booked through the Bright Water Visitor Centre in Kyleakin. |
|
| To savour the unique experience of staying on the island, exclusive self-catering accommodation is also available. Alternatively, if you cannot visit, why not take a look at the 360° images. | |
