Hi all
just wondered if anyone has Fished the place as i am off there for a weeks holiday in June. Booked a cottage & the water is about 100yds away so going to wet a line or two & tour around a bit keep the wife happy. Just hope we hit on to a bit good weather, Went up Scotland few year back Blair Athol and it p****ed down all week never got fishing all the Rivers were in full flood, land slides the Full Monty.

Ive never fished the resevoir, but it is very big, mainly trout and is club owned but i think you can get day tickets from june onwards at about £20 per day/fish limit.
Some massive pike in there but i think you need to be a member of Staffordshire Predator Club.
Some good fishing on the River Trent at Rugeley, very underrated. Also Trent and Mersey Canal at Rugeley.

club but I think severn trent water have it from this year
