Fontburn, Grassholme and Hury Reservoirs Closed - We thank all of our anglers for their custom during the 2025 season. Fontburn, Grassholme and Hury are now all closed for Winter, and will re-open in Spring 2026. Date to be confirmed. Derwent remains open for both Trout and Coarse/Pike angling, with Trout fishing now operating with our reduced Winter Permit prices.
Whittle Dene Reservoirs - All lakes open as usual
Derwent Reservoir - Despite recent rainfall the level at Derwent Reservoir remains low exposing more areas of soft ground. Please take extra care when fishing and abide by all our safety warning signs. In addition, until levels recover, we have placed some areas out of bounds, these are clearly marked on the banks. These areas are:
-West from Pow Hill up to the Nature Reserve.
-Bay Of Plenty round to the Sailing Club boundary
-Both ends of the fields above the Sailing Club.
-The South side corner of the Dam Wall.
We also want to remind our anglers to take extra precaution when wading and being aware of any drop offs or soft ground. At present we still have well over five miles of safe bank space for anglers to use and will provide updates should the situation change.
Our priority is your comfort and safety, and we would like to thank you for your understating and cooperation.
Coarse Fishing - In the interest of fish welfare during hot weather, please make sure that you use a keep net of a minimum size of 3 metres in length.
Fishing times - 9am - 4pm (from 1st Dec)
