I went to Blakemere in late Jan it's a really beautiful place and seems well stocked with good quality fish, the guy who owns it made a point of coming to see me on the bank and asked me loads about how my day had been, he's also continually working on the place to make it better, I'm sure if you go you'll enjoy it I did! The swims are really well made up with plenty of room for bivvy etc and aren't muddy or waterlogged...what more can I say!
