2025 Fishing Permit

Whiteadder Reservoir's Fishery is a peaceful spot for fly fishing enthusiasts seeking the challenge of pursuing wild brown trout. While the reservoir is shared with watersports users, tranquil spots are plentiful and you can hire a boat to reach those likely looking spots unreachable from the bank. Come to Whiteadder for a memorable day outdoors and where the art of angling and the beauty of nature seamlessly intertwine.

1. Choose the nearest available date when buying via this booking system (EOLA). Permits are shown as available on the first day of each month. Whichever date you choose in the booking process, your pass is valid for the full season from the 1st April to 30th September 2025 from dawn to dusk.
2. For no extra charge, you may add a season pass for a child (under 16yrs).

Please read the FISHERY RULES, keep away the area near the Dam and outlet tower (plughole) and be careful on steep banks.

You may keep up to six brown trout (minimum size 10 inches) per session but 'catch and release' is strongly encouraged.

We strongly advise that you wear a flotation device. Eye wear is recommended and warm clothes suited to the weather on the day you choose to fish. Bring your permit or take a photo of the code on your phone.
