 River Rothay   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Friends have paddled the river when it is flowing through people's gardens(!), and report that the difficulty does not massively increase but the danger does, particularly from trees..
The river slackens off after you pass a set of stepping stones (which you have to lean your boat through in low water).
The river is quick but tame until the road joins on river right and you meet Stock Ghyll flowing in from river left.

 BBC - Cumbria Sport - Angling Doctor
As the stretch of the river Rothay that you will be fishing is a private one, I do not know the characteristics of the water.
The Rothay is a typical Lake District river which can be very low in summer if there is little rain but high in winter or periods of heavy rain.
Should you be there when the river is high the Trout are likely to be close into the bank, out of the main current.

 Derivation of the Names of Lake District Rivers
The same British root is found in the River Dart in Devon, the River Darent in Kent, the River Darwen in Lancashire and the Yorkshire and Derbyshire Derwents.
This is probably the British river-name 'Isca', similar to the River Exe in Devon and derived from the same root as the Welsh 'esk', water.
The first element is probably Welsh 'glyndwfr', a river valley; the second element may be a superfluous O.N. 'รก', a river; the last could be a Welsh word 'mochyn', meaning 'swine'.

 Ambleside Lodge - Lake District Bed and Breakfast, Ambleside B & B, Lake District Accommodation, Cumbria, UK
Ambleside Lodge was originally built circa 1875 as a Gentleman‘s residence, and was named “Rothay Holme“ after the River Rothay which flows from Grasmere into Lake Windermere.
Owning most of the land surrounding the church, both sides of the river and down to the lake, it commanded a respectable and enviable position in the community.
The name was changed, after much deliberation, to prevent confusion between the many other hotels, guests houses and private homes all bearing the name “Rothay” in their title, and Ambleside Lodge Bed and Breakfast adequately described the current lifestyle of the property.

 Basic diary page template
It is an area where you have to be able to read your map and use your compass - even the apparently simple task of leaving the summit to reach the west Tarn often requires a compass bearing to reach the tarn without wandering off course.
The bridleway ends at map ref. SD 734960, but a path on the ground continues to follow the river upstream.
It had been a hard walk near the limit of my own abilities these days but well worth it for the experience of the wild scenery and the waterfall strewn course of the River Rawthey which I will probably not be able to walk again.

 River Rothay
Apparently, otters have been seen on the banks of the river around Pelter Bridge, which is where the "rock-infested rapid" below Rydal Water is. The residents of Rydal (and the NT?) have pretty much decided that paddlers going around the banks of the river aren't good for the otters and hence paddling shouldn't be allowed.
In short, you can't paddle the Rothay below Rydal Water, until the conflict is resolved.
Otherwise, enjoy the final stretch down to where the River Brathay is joined from river right and drift into Windermere.

We were not able to stay at the Grasmere Hotel, as they close in January, so we thought we would try the Rothay Garden Hotel just down the road instead, having seen it and liked the look of it.
