We called into Derwent Water on the way home from Esthwaite for a couple of hours, a 1.5hr session resulted in 5 Pike to high singles and a handful of Perch. Derwent was a bit cooler and a lot clearer, just shows the difference from one venue to another. Mind there must of been some rain up there, water was up 1ft since we last fished there 4 weeks ago. On a lake that size that's some water!
Anyway, it was a very enjoyable weekend. Will book in next year's event within the next week or so.

I think the extra depth in Derwent may have kepted the temperature down. Esthwaite is probably one of the shallower lakes and more prone to warming up.

Aye, I guess the combination of deeper water plus river fed made the difference though I suspect that also means it probably takes a little longer to get going earlier in the year. Both nice places to fish though

We bought our tickets from the Esso in Keswick maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=54.605216,-3.145652&spn=0.00471,0.009645&t=m&z=17&layer=c&cbll=54.605331,-3.145956&panoid=bzvJUw9VWL-3KJdRaPuPqQ&cbp=12,254.74,,0,4.81 £6.20 I think. You can either park here maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=54.594333,-3.140743&spn=0.002368,0.004823&t=h&z=18 or this is where we parked, cost something like £6 a day maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=54.56525,-3.134757&spn=0.001185,0.002411&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=54.56525,-3.134757&panoid=ggciCcTPNwRVRboK9-wLTA&cbp=12,305.36,,0,1.6 This time of the year the Perch are in the shallows, anywhere from 2ft-10ft is the best depths
