Various, but well managed to ensure healthy, crystal clear, oxygenated waters & supporting an abundance of insect life all year for the fish to grow increasingly bigger & stronger on.

Floating lines are recomended most of the year at The Tarn. Chioce of flies & cast set up varies throughout the seasons, but favourites most of the year are Damsel nymphs, Shuttlecock CDC - particularly the Hares Lug & Yellow Owl, Slim buzzers & the Hares Lug Nymph. For bait fishing, standard float fishing with worms or a worm/corn combo is always popular, but sometimes Power Bait is favoured
