Upper Roddlesworth is on my 'To Do" list, FUFB. it's much less exposed than I imagined it, compared to the majority of moorside reservoirs around here. My appetite is whetted! Thanks for posting the pics, when were you up there, looks like during the recent frosts?

Just read it's closed until April. Well, the fish will only get bigger.

Aye up Sharkey,

Don't forget you can park in Abbey Village and walk around the reservoirs if you can't wait until April to see the fishery, but remember it's the top lake and the furthest to walk. My wife's never forgiven me

Nice place, but as it's boat only I haven't fished it, I flet it would be a bit like being in a goldfish bowl with all the walkers.

hi moustique its not boat only you can fish the bank as well and if you go past the pub at abbey village next turnin gon your left theres a small car park and you can walk down the road through the farm to get to it to have a look its stocked every two weeks with rainbows and blues min 2lb up to doubles well worth a day out

yeah sharkey was just b4 xmas took these phots

Hi,

My apologies and thank's for the correction.

I seem to remember sometime last year, I read or was told that it was boat only, but it's always good to know the correct info, so thanks again.

Look's like you also found the access route!

My wife has never forgiven me for making her walk around all 3 reservoirs, then all the way back to Abbey Village.

yeah helps bein a member of the club lol if you ever fancy a day up there gimme a call

hi all the only downfall is the walk back up to the car after a long day the hill is a killer but the fishing is good dry flys do well on roddlesworth anything black is wot i have caught on and lures there are some good fish in and it is cheap fishing £11 for the day but you cant fish till 8am but it is still worth a visit cheers fritzcat
