Description: Damflask Reservoir This absolutely massive reservoir is situated about 7 miles outside Sheffield, it covers in total over 100 acres, so you should be able to get a peg, no matter how busy it is. The water dates back to 1896 when it was initially constructed as a compensation reservoir for all the major towns in the area. Similar to a lot of the reservoirs in the South Yorkshire area, in that it is also an all year round fishery. There is a road that runs the full way around the water, so it is never a long walk from the car. The most popular pegs tend to be the 55 permanent pegs used for matches. The water also has a wide variety of depths from one end to the other, with depths of 6 ft at the inlet end dropping down to almost 100 ft at the wall end. But for the majority of the water, the average depth is probably around 15 to 20 ft.
