Chew Valley Reservoir, near Bristol ,Somerset, BS40 8XS – View Map

Chew Valley Reservoir is the jewel in the crown of Bristol Water Fisheries and boasts a healthy stock of large pike.

It is a prolific commercial trout fishery which has no doubt contributed to the size of the pike over the years. However, it holds an abundance of coarse fish and is of an average shallow depth making it a great venue for fishing for pike on the fly.

Many fish over 40 pounds are caught each year on both the fly and other methods and the lake holds the current British record for a pike of 47lbs 5oz caught in February 2024.

This water is suitable for the veteran or newcomer to pike fly fishing alike and is open from March each year for this discipline.

The staff at this fishery hold the right to cancel / suspend pike fly fishing if weather or water temperatures deem it unsafe to do so.

A really exciting venue to fish knowing that the next pull on the line could be a monster.
