Looking for the best stillwater trout fisheries in the UK and wondering what flies, lines and tactics work? You’re in the right place.

This hub pulls together some of the top waters, from small spring-fed lakes to huge reservoirs like Rutland and Eyebrook. Each fishery has its own dedicated page with:

  • Best flies by season (with step-by-step tying guides)
  • Depth and line setup tips (floating, midge-tip, intermediate, sink lines)
  • Leader setups and retrieves that actually catch fish
  • Cheat sheets so you know what to tie on before you hit the water

It’s designed so you can go from “where should I fish this weekend?” to “what exact fly, depth, and retrieve should I start with?” in just a couple of clicks.
