Fishing from the Dam Wall.
Yorkshire Water have agreed that anglers may fish from the dam wall. However, if problems,safety issues, or complaints arise Yorkshire Water reserve the right to withdraw their consent. It is imperative that anglers do not attempt to enter the reservoir other than through the car park at the southern end and then walk to the dam.
Winter Rules for Members ( 1st December until Late February)
Yorkshire Water have agreed that the Reservoir may remain open to members over the winter. There will be one stocking of the water so, in order to preserve stocks, only two(2) fish per visit may be taken - however the Committee would like to see the majority of fish released after capture. In order to reduce the theft of fish, will members fishing, ensure that they carry their membership card and query any other angler whom they do not recognise? Genuine members will have no objections to showing their cards.
