Derwent Reservoir

Derwent Reservoir in Durham is one of the larger stillwaters in the north of England and attracts thousands of anglers in a season. Everything from small dry flies to larger less beautiful patterns like the Ornage Fritz can produce great results at this 1000 acre fishery.

As one of the most popular venues to go fly fishing in Durham, Derwent Reservoir offers a choice of Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout to anglers.

A Black Fritz or an Orange Fritz are two flies that regularly do well when fly fishing at Derwent Reservoir. When trout are visible on the surface anglers can experience great sport using Hoppers and Daddies.

Derwent Reservoir is open from March to November and early season sport can be found at the well named ‘Bay of Plenty’.
