River Kent/Kendal

Kendal, home of the eponymous castle and mint cake, offers visitors free fishing from the Victoria Bridge to 100 yards south of Nether Bridge, excluding the Gooseholme Weir area.  

You can catch all the main game fish here; trout, sea trout and even salmon.  

We suggest popping in to Carlson’s fishing shop in Kendal to get all the tips you’ll need and various bits of fishing tackle.
