Annual Fishing Permit

Whiteadder Reservoir's Brown Trout Fishery is a peaceful spot for fly fishing enthusiasts seeking the challenge of pursuing wild brown trout. Our fishing season is from the 1st April 2025 to 30th September 2025.

Your pass is valid for the season of 2025. Choose the nearest available date when buying via this booking system (EOLA). They are shown as available on the first day of each month. They are valid from when you pay for them. Traditional fly fishing is the name of the game at Whiteadder. You can use any size or weight of fly you like matching the hatch just right.

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.

We're big on conservation here so catch and release is strongly encouraged. While you can keep up to six brown trout per session, our minimum size requirement of 10 inches ensures the protection of the population. Additionally, for those who choose to rent a boat only electric engines are permitted to minimise environmental impact.

Come to Whiteadder for a memorable day outdoors and where the art of angling and the beauty of nature seamlessly intertwine.

Fishing times are - dawn til dusk.

Concessions (<60years) please choose the child pass.

Please have a look at the FISHERY RULES and keep away for the working parts of the reservoir - namely the outlet tower (plughole) Be careful on steep banks.

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.
