Wild brown trout only — no stocking, no rainbows, and a permit scheme that keeps the fishing low-pressure. The reservoir is a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its upland geese and moorland bird community, which limits casual use and is half the reason it still feels like proper wild water. Bank fishing, fly only. The trout are modest in size and plentiful in the right conditions, and they fish like wild hill-loch browns everywhere: honest, eager on a ripple, impossibly hard on a flat calm. Bring waterproofs. The weather here is the weather.
