With the fishing season fast-approaching, Northumbrian Water has announced key dates and information about the 2025 season across reservoir sites in the North.
Anglers can enjoy an early kick off at Derwent Reservoir from Saturday 22 February. Derwent will be stocked prior to this with 3300 Rainbow Trout.
Fontburn, Grassholme and Kielder Water will all open on Saturday 8 March.
Hury will remain closed for the 2025 season in order to carry out essential works to the reservoir. This work will ensure Northumbrian Water can provide customers with the highest levels of water quality and customer service well into the future from nearby treatment works. The works involves closing access to the north shore for machinery and drawdown of the reservoir.
However we’re thrilled to share that the stock reared and allocated for Hury will be added to Grassholme to accommodate anticipated extra visits.
Day permit prices for Rainbow Trout fishing will remain at our 2024 prices.
As usual, Coarse, Pike and Wild Brown Permits are available too. After holding these permit prices for several years, we have applied a small increase for the 2025 season. Those increases are £2 on all sites and Wild Brown trout fishing by £1.
Weather conditions early in the season may change and as always, our number one priority is visitor comfort and safety, therefore we may need to adjust some of our opening dates. Updates will be made to both the website and our social media channels in the event of any change to the publicised information.
