Home - Whittle Dene - Fishing at Whittle Dene

The three coarse fishing reservoirs at Whittle Dene are exceptionally well maintained and set in beautiful rolling Northumberland countryside.

It is the perfect place for a quiet day coarse fishing that includes a variety of species, with excellent stocks of roach, perch and skimmers.

If you don’t want to walk far, the roadside banks on the Northern and Lower lakes are easily accessible, while for the more adventurous minded the grassy banks are easy to traverse with a trolley if you want to explore further afield.

Sometimes it can pay to fish the far banks of the top two lakes, which often provide bigger fish. If you prefer solitude the 10-15 minute walk to the Great Southern lake is worth the effort too, providing stunning scenery and the potential for some of the best roach fishing you will ever enjoy!

Fishing at Whittle Dene is continuing to grow in popularity – don’t miss out.
