Stocked weekly, often with our own grown fish from our Teesdale fish farm, Hury is a must for traditional fly fishing enthusiasts. It has excellent floating line sport as trout rise to take a variety of dries.
Hury is suitable for disabled anglers with a disabled platform near to the dam wall on the north side close to the fishing lodge and toilet.
For those who like to wander, the middle reaches of the reservoir provides for some fantastic sport particularly on the south shore and where the water flows in from the Selset tunnel on the north shore.

Important information for all anglers – Check, Clean, Dry!
Before coming to our reservoir site please check your clothing and equipment are free of all plants and animals, such as crayfish, mussels and shrimp. Invasive non-native species can seriously impact our fisheries by eating young fish, consuming food resources, carrying fish diseases and affecting water quality. Harmful invasive species can easily be spread to our sites on damp clothing and angling equipment.
To protect our fisheries please follow the Check, Clean, Dry procedure:
These simple steps will help to prevent the spread of harmful invasive species into your fishery. Once introduced, invasive species are nearly impossible to remove, so we must all take steps to prevent their entry.
We have provided some useful location tips to help you catch. Our rangers are also very happy to assist you in choosing the best method, flies and baits for you to have a fantastic day fishing. Speak to them at Grassholme Reservoir shop or as they are working around the reservoir.
