Information
Derwent, situated just five miles west of Consett, has proven itself to be one of the most popular game fisheries in the country once again. Last year, it welcomed over 10,000 angler visits, solidifying its reputation as a go-to destination for fishing enthusiasts. The reservoir's convenient location and accessible gently sloping banks make it a perfect spot for the whole family to enjoy a fun day out by the water. With around six miles of bank to explore, including three miles along the south shore open for both multi-bait and fly fishing, there is ample opportunity for anglers of all skill levels to try their hand at catching some fish. Additionally, the north shore of the reservoir is reserved for fly fishing only, providing a more serene and exclusive experience for those looking for a quieter day on the water. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking for a challenge or a beginner wanting to learn the ropes, Derwent offers a diverse and picturesque setting for a memorable fishing excursion.
