Stillwater trout fishing: tactics, flies and fisheries for reservoir and lake fishing

Stillwater trout fishing is its own discipline – and one of the most technically demanding in game fishing. Reading the wind, finding the fish on big reservoirs, mastering the drift, choosing between lure, nymph and dry fly – the learning never stops.

Trout & Salmon’s stillwater pages cover bank and boat fishing across the full range of UK stillwaters – from iconic reservoirs like Rutland Water, Grafham and Blagdon to Scottish lochs, Welsh lakes and small day-ticket fisheries. Tactics, fly patterns, seasonal strategies and fishery guides, all in one place.
