Harlock Reservoir

Brief description of fishery:

Harlock is our dedicated Brown Trout Reservoir.  It has a secure car park and good fishing access to most areas of the reservoir.  You are also allowed to fish off the dam on Harlock.  Only one brownie can be taken per day on this water.  It is well stocked twice in the season.

A “fly only” reservoir, but can be very rewarding when the brownies are on the feed.

It is around 20 acres and feels and looks like a mountain tarn/lake.  It has plenty of fly life including hawthorn, caddis and small olives.

Dry fly fishing can be superb on a summers evening amongst a hatch,  but dry fly fishing is also successful throughout the year on this water.  The brownies can get picky and will feed on snails on the bottom, so a peacock and black is a must for any anglers fly box!

This reservoir feels quite isolated yet is easily accessible.
