Rudyard Lake is a stunning body of water, set deep in the Staffordshire Moorlands.

This film follows a quiet winter pike session on the lake. A day defined by patience, changing tactics, and understanding the water beneath the boat.
Rudyard is not a lake that gives freely.
It rewards time, observation, and restraint.

If you’re interested in Rudyard’s deeper story, including its history, structure, and management, I previously sat down with Ray, the chairman of the fishery, as part of my Fishery Diaries series. That video is well worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b7uV-3_JPc

Thanks for watching, and Stay Hooked!
