The water has some good depths with the shallower end dropping to 5ft whilst the deeper water by the dam wall is over 20ft. The centre of the water also has some very deep water.

Facilities: Notes Access to the pegs is not the best, with some steep steps and as such not suited to the angler with Disabilities. Parking for the venue is road side on the A61 in a large lay-by, so if you wish to fish the far side pegs it can be a bit of walk if you are carrying heavy tackle.
